One policy mentioned here that is potentially more significant is the end of dual citizenship. So many people, some British born some not, are living in the UK because of our citizenship rules. Changing it or even the suggestion of changing it will significantly alter the immigration landscape here.

My partner is here under the EU settlement scheme, with indefinite leave to remain. It’s scary that our family could be ripped apart by the turkeys who vote for Christmas.

Why? If people are settling with a genuine commitment to the country and contributing, then it’s a sensible system.
Once again, taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut, probably breaking a hole in the floor in the process.

Reform once again showing how dangerous and clueless they are about governing.

Lemme guess, his German wife would be exempt from this rule?

Labour won’t go for anything like this, but scrapping access to public funds for all non citizens should be an absolute slam dunk.
If they did that as their first cost saving policy instead of the winter fuel allowance, along with deporting foreign prisoners instead of releasing prisoners early, then they’d have avoided a lot of unnecessary unpopularity

And on todays segment of “things Reform won’t do”. This is purely just to rile up their fanbase, they won’t ever actually follow through on this. Their entire financial backing is from people who rely on cheap labour being in the country.

Would be very interested to see how badly the country ends up 10 years down the road from a policy like this.

Why? We need these people. We have a historic demographic gap that can only be filled by immigration. Without immigrants how are we going to generate the tax revenue to pay for the health service, welfare benefits and pensions?

Does this mean I would have to leave for Ukraine because my grandparents were here on ILR in the 1950s?

“Let’s make other people’s lives worse for no particular reason.”
Yup, sounds like Reform.

On a serious note – as a dual national that was born elsewhere who’s spent about 90% of his life in the UK (and got his passport by default, as everyone else in the family was from the UK and I was only 3 at the time so I’d didn’t really have much choice in them remigrating and me emigrating) – does this effect me as well?
