Petition: Do not increase the time migrants with ILR need to wait to apply for citizenship
We ask the Government and Parliament not to amend the British Nationality Act 1981 to increase the qualifying period for migrants with indefinite leave to remain (ILR) to become eligible to apply for ...

In November, the government announced plans to amend the British Nationality Act to make citizenship harder to obtain.
So after migrants meet new ILR requirements, they'll wait longer, pay more, jump through MORE hoops.

Time for Government to stop tinkering around the edges and scrap leasehold altogether.
Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.
But it will not share that “research”.
At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.
