The fact that someone has even proposed such a bill leaves me livid, devastated (I am married to a wonderful filipino) and utterly disgusted.
This is NOT the country I grew up in and until the last few years have been so proud to be a citizen of.

"They Will Also Need to Go Home"
A sitting Conservative MP has introduced a bill that would make lawful residents deportable for earning under £38,700 - and Britain’s political class is barely blinking.

Formatted is a shining example of what the EA2010 was written to prevent. She failed to have her contract renewed, largely because her discrimination made the workplace toxic to other employees.
It was an annually renewable contract, most people would have simply found another contract.

Like her sidekick Helen Joyce, Maya fucking Forstater "does not have any formal education or qualifications even in biology, let alone in gender, sex or law... she is not an expert at all. She has no recognised expertise in any of the areas in which she expresses an opinion."
The (very clear) intention of the drafters of equality legislation in Britain, in Ireland, in Europe & around the world was to ERADICATE sex discrimination, NOT to create separate "men's rights" & "women's rights" to be assigned at birth based on genitals or chromosomes. #GOTF

So glad we all have The Bear at times like this. I was and still am too livid to even start to try to express my disgust at this steering pile.
Imagine spending years proving you belong here, paying thousands, following every rule - only for Nigel Farage to threaten to tear up your status.
This is not policy - it’s cruelty, it’s showmanship, and I for one, am sick to the damned back teeth of it.

Reform UK’s so-called “Boriswave” rhetoric is a fantasy built on cruelty, cooked-up numbers, and Trump-style authoritarianism.

Perhaps the conflicted little child shouldn't have done everything he can to shred LGBT healthcare in the first place.
The only thing that child is upset about is realising the last part of FAFO for him means his career hitting a brick wall.

He's only pretending to give a damn as he's eyeing up the prospect of Keir Starmer being ousted as PM and wants to woo LGBT Labour votes!

This is thinly disguised homophobia by Farage.
The same far-right figures who have spent years coming for my trans friends & colleagues are emboldened again against anything different from their "normal."
Today and everyday I stand with the whole LGBTQIA+ community.

Nigel Farage:
"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."
Farage has two ex-wives.

Hmm, torys killed their party chasing reform, labour are following the same path, so it really makes no difference what someone joining Reform might mean, Labour are toast anyway.
Greens are the best option and have been for a long time. Good luck convincing me otherwise. Hint, you'll fail.

Danny Kruger quitting to join Reform UK isn’t just a blow for the Conservatives, but a brutal judgement on Kemi Badenoch’s leadership.
UK politics is now about Labour vs Farage: or as I like to call it, Tories 2.0.

And the anti immigration crowd try to claim that immigrants cost this and that.
One must also remember that immigrants also pay silly amounts per application (spouse visa £1035 per application, regardless of approval).
All of this is one top of normal tax, NI, VAT, etc that everyone pays.

£1,035. Per Person. Per year. FOR 10 YEARS.
Immigration Health Surcharge + 10-year route to settlement = poverty, anxiety and hardship.

A quick thought for those who are so anti migrants,l. If it weren't for a bunch of migrant workers in ancient Egypt, we may not be writing about migrants at all.
This is because at that time only the elite were taught how to read and write hieroglyphs.
