The Government must recognise this truth: having a family is not a privilege, it is a fundamental human right. Policies must prioritise compassion over calculation and keep families together.

Measuring human relationships in pounds and pence sets a dangerous precedent — one we’ve already seen emerging in proposals like the “Earned Settlement” framework.

Worse still, these draconian rules separate children from a parent, leaving families trapped apart across borders. This harm is real, ongoing, and urgent.

We must look at what current family migration rules already fail to deliver. British and settled residents are being denied the right to live in the UK with their loved ones.

While we respect the independence and quality of the MAC’s analysis, family migration was never intended to serve primarily economic purposes.

Judging it through that lens is wrong — and inhumane

We reject this hostile approach — one that sacrifices everyone’s rights just to appease a hateful minority.
We deserve better. And we’ll keep campaigning to protect our shared rights.
Only by doing so can we truly uphold — and celebrate — human rights.

Take the European Convention on Human Rights.
It’s under relentless attack, yet it’s the very framework that helps many of the families we support reunite with loved ones when strict financial rules would otherwise keep them apart.
Dismantling it means denying the basic human right of a family life

We’re already seeing the consequences: worsening mental health, children growing up separated from one of their parents, and a persistent feeling among many that they are excluded or discriminated against in their own country — or the country they have chosen to call home.

This isn’t abstract. The constant denigration of human rights has real human costs — not only for today’s “enemy of choice” (migrants, refugees, people born abroad) but for all of us who live in this country.

We have lost faith in parties willing to compromise basic human rights just to survive another day in Parliament.
We deserve better—and we will keep demanding it.
