Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has unveiled plans to significantly expand legal routes for refugees to reach Britain once Labour regains control of the wider asylum system.Speaking on Matt Forde's Political Party podcast, Ms Mahmood said her ambition to go "much bigger" on legitimate refugee pathways depends on first restoring public confidence in Britain's migration system and breaking the business model of people-smuggling gangs.The Home Secretary has proposed three capped schemes - one allowing refugee students to study at British universities, another for skilled workers, and a third modelled on the Homes for Ukraine programme, enabling community groups to sponsor refugees."I think once we've got control of our system, once we've shown our country that we can run a good migration system, we can break the business model of the gangs," she said.
