英国能源部长米亚塔·法恩布勒在威斯敏斯特记者活动上因涉及移民政策的言论招致同事反感。1法恩布勒在活动中以开玩笑的方式表示，自己因为承诺"从不撒谎"而无法支持内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德的移民政策。1这一言论随即引发关注，法恩布勒随后在社交媒体上发表声明澄清，称自己"完全支持"政府在移民改革上的立场。1
这一事件反映出英国内阁在移民政策上存在内部分歧。1马哈茂德提议将外国工人申请无限期留居权的等待期从5年延至15年，并追溯适用于2021年起到达的人员。1法恩布勒和住房部长安吉拉·雷纳均对原计划的某些要素表示不赞成。1政府就该政策进行的公众咨询收到超过20万份回复，内政部目前正在考虑相关意见。1前移民部长迈克·塔普呼吁马哈茂德"读懂民意"，主张外国工人工作5年后应有权申请定居。1
Britain's Energy Secretary Miata Farnbrule faced backlash from Cabinet colleagues after joking at a Westminster press event that her commitment to never lying prevented her from supporting Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's tougher migration rules 1. The remark appeared to signal dissent within the government over proposed changes to immigration policy, prompting Farnbrule to quickly clarify her stance on social media 1.
In her statement, Farnbrule declared that she "fully supports" the position of the Home Secretary and government on immigration reform 1. The policy under discussion would extend the waiting period for foreign workers to apply for indefinite leave to remain from five years to fifteen years, with the new rules applying retrospectively to anyone arriving from 2021 onwards 1. The government's consultation on the proposed changes received more than 200,000 responses, which the Home Office is currently reviewing 1.
The episode underscores existing tensions within the Cabinet over the immigration overhaul. In addition to Farnbrule, Housing Secretary Angela Reyna has expressed reservations about certain elements of the original plan 1. Former Immigration Minister Mike Tappin urged Mahmood to "read the room," arguing that workers should have the right to apply for settlement after five years 1.
