Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties.
This plan, which recently became official, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

This note really spells out in unsparing detail just how extreme the policy being proposed is. For example, an elderly, legally settled resident of the UK who had lived and worked here for decades and is now drawing a state pension would be deported. BNP-level stuff.
Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:
Tory deportation plan would upend Britain
Proposing such a radical bill with little public support is a gift to Nigel Farage
