Reform would remove rights from EU citizens with settled status

[Toffeefudgecaramel]

"EU nationals based permanently in the UK have expressed alarm over a Reform UK plan to target their rights to accommodation and employment, saying the policy is a betrayal of promises made in the Brexit referendum 10 years ago.
Under updated migration policies, Nigel Farage’s party would evict all overseas nationals from social housing and make it notably more expensive for companies to employ them, with both policies also affecting EU nationals who have settled status.
Under the UK’s Brexit deal with the EU, people with such status have the permanent right to live and work in the UK, as well as to receive social security and pensions, as do family members.
Both the new policies would require a renegotiation of the Brexit deal, with the possibility that the EU would penalise UK nationals living in the bloc as a reciprocal policy, or impose trade barriers."

Reform UK plan to target EU nationals based in Britain ‘absolutely outrageous’ | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian

I think it’s just electioneering but more disturbing that Reform think people will actually support this.

My mum is in her 90s and came to live in the UK as an au pair from the Netherlands in 1959. She stayed because she met my dad. She retained her Dutch passport, why should she give up her nationality. She worked and paid taxes etc. She was in social housing for a while because of DV. She later remarried and moved into a house she and her husband bought.

When her husband went into a care home she tried to claim benefits and was put through an two hour interrogation by her local council asking her what the weather was like when she came over etc and treated like some sort of illegal immigrant. It’s a revolting way to treat people.

What are Reform going to do? Kick out elderly, victims of DV etc? Mad.

Yes.
And it extends to dual nationals too.

Farage is getting more like Hitler every day, and half the country still think he’s the messiah. How did we end up here?

Interesting. I imagine that for many Reform voters, Reform IS Farage. Look what happened to UKIP after he left it to set up Reform. If he quits, I suspect many voters will drift back to the traditional parties, and some might go to Restore.

That's even more shocking.
Thinking about my family member (not my mother, sadly, so I can't get an EU passport). She's about 80, and is full-time carer to her older British husband. If she were forced back to the home country she left as a very young woman, her husband would have to go into a care home. How would that benefit anyone?

Farage hates one type of immigrant and only one. EU immigration.
His bosses target is to damage the cohesion in the EU. For their financial interests only. Not for the UK or any individual person interests.
The EU is a big block. Break it and profit.
He could not care less about what will happen when families start splitting up between countries and police has to remove law abiding citizens from an embrace with their young children.

We lost so many good and useful people, from the EU but happy living in Britain, over Brexit. It's horrible that we may now lose more of them. And for what? We now have more immigration than previously, but it's coming from places like India and immigrants are bringing in far more members of their family. Do Brexit supporters see that as a win?

So you think this is about Russia?

Remove a citizen that has not violated the law, separate them from their family = mahoosive compensation after the legal process started by their country
Multiply that by.... big numbers

Russia?
No, about the guys that gift 5 million to Farage!
Not a clue if this guy is Russian.

Such a lovely message, thank you.

Yes this combined with the 5 million which he is being inestigated for (that hasnt gone away) and blatent grifting for his employer (crypto billionaire) means it going to be bye bye Nig pretty soon and then without him its going to be bye bye Reform he will be gone by the end of the summer

Restore will keep going. They are as bad.
No billionaire puts their eggs all in the same basket.
I do not claim to know why and who, but it is clear that Farage is being paid to promote the UK separation from the EU, hate for migrants, then Brexit was followed by an actual doubling of the number of immigrants into UK, and now Farage is trying to push for the ILR, EU settled status to vanish. And so on. All for the sake of his 5 millions or huge donations.
Surely the increase of immigration following Brexit is a sign of what will happen if we continue listening to Farage. Farage will fill his pockets and walk into the sunshine. And UK problems will just get actually worst.

May I add something as a Uk citizen, who has only travelled abroad a very little? I remember when we joined what was then the EEC and how the freedom of movement for work transformed our lives here as more and different foreign nationals came here, and our own people travelled and made lives within the EU. Our lives were enriched in ways we had not thought of.

In my professional life, the acceptance of legal decisions made within the EU, without domestic hearings being necessary was so helpful. Our children were able to study anywhere in the EU and several of my friends’ children did so and some made lives in other countries.

It never occurred to me that we would choose to turn our backs on this.

My parents voted to join and my widowed mother voted to leave.

I weep.

I think he's British but living abroad? Made a fortune from cryptocurrency?

Whoever he and any other patrons are, they pay handsomely.
And they are laser focused on spreading hate. Particularly against the EU. Take back control.

He also spends quite a bit of time in US, where he gets quite a bit of his inspiration.

Or go back to not voting at all, which I think is the case for a lot of them.

This is 127 millions in compensation for 11,700 and a bit claimants, 94% or so claimants will be compensated as their claims were found valid. For the Wind Rush Scandal.

How does Farage intends to avoid a repeat of this? How is he going to protect UK financially when implementing his policy? What is he going to say to British born citizens that see their spouses and/ or children sent away?

Farage needs to present an answer to the many many questions.
Including his 5 million and other funding.
