Except Zack Polanski.
She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

Workers will have to wait – from 5 to 10 years – before they can apply for indefinite leave to remain, claim any benefit, childcare, or housing support, despite paying taxes
