UK immigration minister Mike Tapp refuses to back down after unsanctioned op-ed sparks row with home secretary

Summary

Immigration minister Mike Tapp is embroiled in a political row with the home secretary after publishing an unsanctioned op-ed in The Times calling for overseas care workers to be exempt from hardline immigration changes. Tapp, a strong backer of Keir Starmer, defended his actions on social media, stating he 'won't be intimidated' to drop his views and claiming the controversy has shifted from accusations of breaking the ministerial code to claims he 'stole' an idea. The dispute highlights internal tensions within the UK government over immigration policy.
