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?

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?
> more stringent limits on bringing spouses and children to the UK
The hypocrisy is overwhelming.
Let me guess- let’s demonise all immigrants and remove the chance for them to ever settle down permanently in the UK in peace. Because as we all know, as per usual us immigrants are to blame for everything….
If us awful immigrants would just leave, the UK would be a perfect paradise….
Great way to send investors and high value workers packing – they value stability, and won’t be investing their money or career here if it can be rugpulled at any time
Another unworkable proposal.
When you know you’re never going to lead a country it’s easy to come up with 100% unrealistic stuff.
The way that The Times has basically become a propaganda rag for that fascist is truly grotesque.
Goodbye to my dad, and my partner then… And several other family members. F anyone who votes for this
So I’m a New Zealander. I pay a lot of tax in a high paying job. So, under reform, I would have to give up my New Zealand citizenship to apply for a British passport or just continually be on a work visa? Thanks Nigel. Makes sense.
