We are looking at extending the period before which you can claim indefinite leave to remain from five years to ten. Reform has pledged to scrap indefinite leave to remain entirely, replacing it with a renewable five-year visa for those who meet certain criteria. • Reform UK would scrap indefinite leave to remain for migrants

Russia risking ‘direct armed confrontation’ with Nato, warns Cooper
Yvette Cooper condemned recent Russian incursions into Nato airspace as she addressed the UN Security Council for the first time as Foreign Secretary. The incursion followed similar incidents in Poland and Romania in which Russian drones were intercepted or shot down over Nato territory. Ms Reeves told ITV News that the Government and businesses need to “step up” in their efforts to deal with increasing threats to cyber security. “It’s coming from hostile states, states like Russia – and that’s why we are doing what we are doing. “A number of these attacks originate in Russia by Russian-backed entities, and we are getting a grip of that.”

Decision to recognise Palestine is borne of urgency and principle
We have taken it now because the dire situation in Gaza and the West Bank puts the two-state solution in profound jeopardy. Advertisement• What does recognising a Palestinian state mean in practice? In the face of such despair, it would be easy for faith in a two-state solution to disappear beneath the rubble. So our decision to recognise Palestine is born of urgency and principle: a moral and practical step taken alongside France, Canada and Australia, joining more than 148 other countries which have already done the same. We need reform of the Palestinian Authority and President Abbas has himself confirmed that a Palestinian state should be demilitarised.
