As far as I can tell, this policy would deport my Swedish wife (who has a well-paying job and pays thousands in tax each year, not that that should decide these things) because she "took" from society by going on maternity leave when our kids were born.
Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR
This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"
NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt
No govt since Idi Amin has done this

And there we have it - you can very easily dismantle Farage's greatest hits. Polanski's doing it. And this very fine fellow's doing it too.
If you are a political leader who refuses to do it, you're either a coward or compromised and actively complicit with the far right.
