I'll strip civil servants of their pensions, but I'm keeping my £73,000 EU pension, despite my attendance record being the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs.

Exactly. Plus by law Farage cannot strip anybody of an agreed and awarded pension. He talks shite to the hard of thinking and they love him for it.

"Farage and Badenoch are free to offer up an explanation as to why Connolly should be able to incite violence without consequence, while el-Fattah should face extrajudicial punishment for it. Until they do so, there is an all too obvious one: they are openly pandering to racists."
Calls to remove el-Fattah’s UK citizenship are dictatorial
Yes his tweets were disgusting, possibly criminal, yet it should not be possible for politicians to revoke someone’s national identity just because they dislike their views

It's interesting to see Truss return to her Marxist roots and commit to a dialectic so rigorous she is at war with the person she was yesterday, who is a clown and a coward.
Truss's comments about the Alaa Abd El-Fattah case are in contrast to her words in 2022, when she told MPs she was 'working hard' to secure his release

We will never know *how much* this is attributable to Labour's decision to track not tackle Reform's rhetoric of hate on immigration. But that Labour *helped* render these views acceptable cannot, surely, be doubted.

Roz is absolutely correct.
Deprivation of citizenship should not be a matter for mere ministerial discretion (with light touch judicial review).
In the extreme circumstances when it can happen, the determination should be made by a tribunal, where government and citizen can make their cases.
