Refugees established in UK may have to return if home countries become safe

Approach modelled on Denmark's controversial system forms part of home secretary's changes to asylum system

Refugees who have established lives with homes and families in the UK - including Ukrainians - will still face having to return if their home countries become safe, the home secretary has said.

Shabana Mahmood said the asylum system was out of control and putting huge pressure on communities" as she announced plans to end the permanent status of refugees, who will need to reapply to remain in Britain every two and a half years.
