UK plans to strip state support from asylum seekers who work illegally, break the law or cannot support themselves. The measures aim to reduce incentives for people to enter the country unlawfully. The move is part of a wider effort by the Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government to tighten asylum policy as it comes under pressure from anti-immigration party Reform UK. The UK's longstanding legal obligation to provide support and accommodation to asylum seekers would be scrapped and replaced with a conditional system, limiting help to those who follow the rules and have no means of supporting themselves.
