Abolishing ILR is a revolting proposal - particularly the threat to do so retrospectively.
A personal example: my wife, who has ILR & has studied, lived, worked here since 08 would be under threat of deportation. We have a son here. There are hundreds of thousands like us.

Depuis 2000, plus de ✨1,1 milliard d’enfants✨ ont été vaccinés — et nous redoublons d’efforts pour en protéger 500 millions de plus d’ici cinq ans.
Le travail continue, mais avec un élan collectif, on peut y arriver.

Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock’s SNL bit when Donald Trump won in 2016 holds up still.

Nobody likes council tax. We've been told time and time again that reform is coming, but we're still waiting ...
So we're looking into council tax in depth for a new series next Monday-Friday. What's wrong with it, what could replace it and why do we still have it?
23 Oct 2024
🚨 The National is launching a brand-new series digging into how council tax could be changed.
Next week, we'll be looking into why it's considered so unfair and what the alternatives might be among many other issues.
