Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

I'm particularly intrigued by "no run-ups to throws" as part of the set of tweaks here

The thing to understand about Robert Peston is, he is ferociously intellectually incurious. Genuinely one of the laziest men in journalism. You'd think this would make him unsuited for his role, but you'll understand more when you recognise it's exactly why he has the highly paid position he does.

Peston tells Lam that she said something that he "genuinely didn't understand". "But who are these people who came legally who should leave?"

This does not look like faux naivety.
He should know the answer!

She misleads in her answer to him.
So he gives a misleading summary of her policy on air.

As it will be in the western news again this week over spying and trade, let's talk about China.

And in particular, two little-stated but uncomfortable truths. Of superior demand, and their actions to avoid being dependent on others.

And maybe another... of western loss of leadership. --->

How is it taking them this long to work this out?
