Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has vowed to revoke citizenships obtained under Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood “major u-turn” on immigration from migrants who make Britain poorer. Under the new policy, most immigrants will now have to wait ten years rather than five to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, a permanent residency status that allows foreigners to live, study, and work in the United Kingdom without any time restriction. Mahmood said that to obtain ILR, migrants must have a clean criminal record, not be on welfare, not owe the government tax or healthcare debts, and pass an English language test. Responding to the announcement, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said on Monday evening that, if elected, his party would review all citizenships granted under Mahmood’s scheme and revoke citizenship from those deemed a net negative for the country. Farage has previously pledged that if his Reform party is given power, they would abolish the Indefinite Leave to Remain system and replace it with an American-style work visa, which would need to be renewed every five years rather than granting permanent residency. Reform has also promised to prohibit all foreigners living in Britain from receiving welfare benefits. Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick has estimated that this would save the UK taxpayer some £21 billion ($28.5bn) by 2029.Farage Vows to Revoke Citizenship From Mahmood Migrants Who Don’t Add Value to Britain:
