In a new battleground over legal migration, she will seek to show that Labour can be firm but fair. Unlike Reform, there will be no attempt to deport migrants who have already been granted the right to settle – what is known as indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
Indeed, yesterday Sir Keir Starmer described that Reform policy as “racist”, “immoral” and likely to “tear the country apart” by stripping ILR from people working in hospitals and schools, or running businesses.
However, Ms Mahmood will say that migrants will be denied ILR and forced to leave the UK if they fail to meet a clear set of criteria in a new points system: they must not claim benefits but must be paying National Insurance, they need to speak English to a high standard, have a clean criminal record and, significantly, be volunteering in their community.
The balancing act is aimed at blunting the Reform onslaught and regaining ground in Red Wall seats, while remaining true to Labour’s core principles. Ms Mahmood will say that while she will be a “tough Home Secretary”, she will also be a “tough Labour Home Secretary, fighting for a vision of this country that is distinctly our own”.
Her own story will play a part in helping sell the policy. Speaking at the weekend, she drew on the example of her parents, who moved to Birmingham from Kashmir in the 1960s.
“They didn’t just come to work – they settled, they made a contribution to the local community, they were volunteers, they got involved in local politics,” she said. “They did more than simply work and earn a salary.”

On Sunday morning, the American team needed to win a ludicrous 10 of the 12 singles matches. Statistical models suggested their chances of overall victory were about 1 per cent. But to European horror, line by line the scoreboard began to turn red.
The unflappable Justin Rose lost to Cameron Young. Justin Thomas came from nowhere to beat the previously flawless Tommy Fleetwood. Bryson DeChambeau fought back from five holes down to stun Matt Fitzpatrick. And so it went on.
Finally, however, It fell to Shane Lowry to put European viewers out of their misery. The affable Irishman holed his birdie putt on the 18th to win the half point that guaranteed Europe could not lose. | The US players looked dejected after their first defeat on home soil since 2012 | His celebrations on the green felt like a message to the American supporters who had spent three days abusing him and anybody in European colours.
“We knew this would be tough,” said Luke Donald, the European captain. “We didn’t know it would be this tough.”

| Who’s in your good books? Every weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal Reader Correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
The Booker Prize shortlist is out – and, in a cheering departure from many recent years, the consensus is that it’s pretty good. Are you rooting for Andrew Miller, or should Katie Kitamura take the crown?
To coincide with the announcement, The Telegraph’s James Walton surveyed previous contests and identified the greatest winners of all – along with the absolute worst. I can’t say I was surprised that nobody felt moved to defend Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song, but for Stewart Munro there was one puzzling omission: “Alan Hollinghurst’s Line of Beauty, a fabulously well written book that perfectly evokes the 1980s.” I agree.
Other readers, however, concurred entirely with James’s choices. Ian Priestley wrote: “Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall still resonates in my mind. The immediacy of the action and the imagining of Thomas Cromwell’s personality are what struck me so forcibly.”
For Gabrielle Scane: “The Sellout by Paul Beatty is not just the funniest Booker Prize winner ever; I believe it has some claim to being the funniest book ever. What a shame he hasn’t written another such zinger.”
Another reader was pleased to see “Possession, by AS Byatt, one of my favourite books. The film, on the other hand, was absolutely dire”.
James mentions several Booker winners that didn’t quite make his list. They include The Old Devils by Kingsley Amis, one of my favourite novels, which follows a bunch of ageing dipsomaniacs in 1980s south Wales. Unpromising though it may sound, it's as funny as anything Amis ever wrote (I love the line about a train station sign that “used to say Taxi and now said Taxi/Tacsi for the benefit of Welsh people who had never seen a letter X before”) and surprisingly tender, too.
Amis also surely gave the best winning speech. Having apparently drunk the Booker dinner dry, he declared that he would spend his prize money on “booze, of course... and curtains”. Whoever triumphs this year, I’d like to see them beat that. What do you think of the Booker shortlist?
