Further to this - and once again I am doing the basic research that political journalists should have done six months ago - Lam said on the record in Parliament that this *does* apply to pensions/pensioners.

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

Wenn man als Rentner aus einem EU-Land Hilfe zur Pflege braucht, passiert vermutlich Ähnliches. Deshalb werde ich für meinen Mann eine Bestätigung des Daueraufenthalts beantragen. Aber selbst das ist inzwischen alles andere als einfach

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral

The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

I cannot quite describe how it feels to hear a proposal to deport millions of people coming from the ostensible 'right of centre' party. I cannot tell you how it feels to know this while waiting for my son's heart surgery: a claim on healthcare that would see me deported under this proposal.

Ostensibly the party of law and order with a plan to deport migrants even if they’ve done nothing more than live here legally and claim support to which they’ve contributed and are entitled. Years of targeting migrants disguised as concern about legality paving the way to this and open violence.

Jonathan Portes @jdportes.bsky.social · 3d

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.

I don't think Sunder is being flippant drawing comparisons with what Idi Amin did in the early 70s. Go watch news reports from that time, Amin's own statements, and you will see the parallels are very real.

The fact that this is even seriously discussed, by frontbench politicians and in mainstream publications, shows that something fundamental has broken in UK politics. All those who look at Germany with horrified faces because of the rise of the AfD, kindly take a look in the mirror.

you can currently claim at least partial child benefits if you're earning up to 80k so that would be, in theory.......basically all parents on ILR and settled status? wtaf

🚨Das geht uns alle an!🚨 Schon bei der ersten abgelehnten Arbeit drohen künftig Totalsanktionen – so sieht es der Gesetzentwurf vor. Damit wird Willkür Tür und Tor geöffnet und Amazon & Co freuen sich schon auf den Fraß, den ihnen die Jobcenter vorwerfen.

Let's not humour those advocating deportation of UK residents with reasons why their plans would not work.

Keep it simple, this is not the action of a civilised country.

If needed, this will mean complete chaos and destruction of international reputation.

Das geht uns alle an! Totalsanktionen sollen in der Grundsicherung schon bei der 1. abgelehnten Arbeit verhängt werden können! So steht es im Gesetzentwurf. Das ist fatal! Von Sanktionen sind immer auch Kinder betroffen, die mit in Bedarfsgemeinschaften hängen. Das kann man nicht trennen. 1/4

Katie Lam has made a video - focusing on not giving new ILR grants to people who don't have it

But quietly including the Conservative proposal to be the first government since Idi Amin in 1972 to revoke the permanent leave to remain, then expel: she underplays to what extent

Today I received a botanical book from 1911 from a seller in Germany, and got curious about the inscribed name (Ilse Eichrodt). It appears she was a forester's daughter from Weinheim/Germany and passed her "Reifeprüfung" as joint best student in 1909, see here: www.museum-weinheim.de/hoehere_toec...

Inside title page the book "Types of British Vegetation" from 1911.

Inscription "Ilse Eichrodt" in one of the front inside pages.

"I've told the story of Akromiya for 20 years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that 'Antifa' is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government."

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

Die Vorstellung "Völker vermischen sich heute, daher müssen sie in der Vergangenheit mal ethnisch rein sortiert gewesen sein" ist genauso dumm wie "Luftmassen vermischen sich heute, also müssen Hoch- und Tiefdruckgebiete früher mal sauber voneinander getrennt gewesen sein."
