This is not only (unsurprisingly) discriminatory and cruel but also (again unsurprisingly) poorly thought. If the UK really attempted to denaturalise and deport all dual citizen criminals, the other countries of citizenship could simply run to denaturalise them first. Begum's case was similar.
I would be interested to see the statistics per country per year behind this statement
“We, the UK, take back our citizens if they’re convicted of criminal offences overseas. It’s only reasonable to expect other countries to do the same thing"

All criminals with dual nationality must be deported, say Tories
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime

Labour MPs are being fobbed off with "jam tomorrow" vagueness about refugee sponsorship ideas that are allegedly in development while the Labour government destroys the UK's highly successful integration model.
Uk refugee protection through official schemes is down a quarter under Labour government, compared to their Cons predecessors. It would be down much more if there hadn't been an accidental data leak putting Afghsns at risk, so 4000 more people given sanctuary

I was one of the sceptics when the Leave campaign promised that Brexit would have opened opportunities to Commonwealth migrants. But maybe some Tories were really fine with getting the visa-fee-paying, No Recourse to Public Funds, low-right migrants in place of EU citizens /1
I think the Conservative policy was implicitly 'get the same amount of people in, but with less rights' (especially if Brexit is added to the calculation). Attacking asylum seekers was the way to offset politically the overall numbers. Labour seems to think they need to be harsh on both fronts.

Among other things, I was wondering whether Mahmood's changes to settlement would be UK's first major disalignment with the EU on migration after Brexit. In particular with the 2003 Directive on long-term residents.

Mahmood here is moving dangerously towards a Priti Patel/Suella Braverman field: pushing forward her own racial profile to justify mistreating migrants on the basis of 'race relations' claims from the 1960s. She hurts migrants as well as other politicians of colour by playing this game.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"
Her answer is the level of net migration, 2019-23 causes racism. (She on Monday said it was caused by the scale of asylum)

Things worth repeating, following Nando:
1) irregular migration does not exist at its own, it is an effect of legal categories and labour market demand
2) hardline migration controls can increase the migrant population by turning would-be temporary migrants in long-term, miserable migrants.

Across Europe, politicians promise to “stop illegal migration” as if it were a problem that comes from the outside.
What if irregular migration is not something that happens despite the system, but because of it?
