Retrospective removal of Indefinite Leave to Remain from "hundreds of thousands of people" in the Reform plans is obscene.
They talk about "preventing disruption to businesses" but have no regard for what this means for the people themselves, their families and communities which will be torn apart.

![Screenshot from The Times which reads: "Zia Yusuf, Reform’s policy chief, said that his party’s changes would lead to “hundreds of thousands of people having to apply [for] and ultimately losing their settled status in the UK” on a staggered basis to prevent disruption to businesses.
Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Yusuf said: “Many of those who will lose their leave to remain are entirely dependent on the welfare state and will leave voluntarily upon losing access to benefits. Those that don’t will be subject to immigration enforcement as part of our mass deportation programme.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xgxwnqvs3th3ccizwb6hhbbh/bafkreic2a3wqrk5zo3x4sh5jkbxg2ifitokxhuvceau3q3cdzxj76mkprm@jpeg)

We've had a few flags ceremoniously cable tied to lighting columns around the area and after about a week, the edges are already fraying. They will be a metaphor by the winter.

But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now!
The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6

The culture war on bikes being aggravated by Houston and Fillmore could have more consequences than lost opportunities to improve health, traffic and climate (as if that weren’t enough). I pray that murdering cyclists doesn’t become a trend. Politicians have a responsibility to vulnerable folk.
