Dominant European and North American political narrative is protection - of agricultural subsidies, steel or manufacturing jobs generally, foreign tech companies or foreigners generally. That's not a recipe for growth or reduced costs of living.

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.
That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"
"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

A pilot friend always says to me: "Yes, we are very well paid. And, if everything goes as it should, we do hardly any work. But then there there is that once-a-decade trip, when we earn a whole career's worth of salaries in ten minutes."

The very definition of a private army.
Breaking News: The U.S. military accepted a private donation of $130 million to help pay troops during the shutdown. The move is highly unusual and a potential violation of federal law.
Trump to Use $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops
It is not clear how far the gift will go toward covering the salaries of the nation’s 1.3 million troops.

A policy this expansive would certainly mean mass stripping of permanent residence status from people with ILR (including pensioners and parents of British children) on a scale far beyond anything any democracy has ever done before. There is no public support for such an extreme policy.
Via @sundersays.bsky.social the Conservatives' draft legislation - absolutely clear that it applies to (and is intended to apply to) legal permanent residents claiming state pension (on the basis of their contributions) or child benefit for British kids.

The upfront cost for top scientists coming to work in the UK is more than 20 times higher than the average for other leading research nations, excluding the United States, according to data compiled by Fragomen for the Royal Society. @mikepeeljourno.bsky.social @financialtimes.com
The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

If right wing politicians say to one audience “mass deportation based on income/contribution” then claim to another more moderate audience “no I only want to deport criminals”, and journalists (or the Labour government) don’t call them on it, no wonder voters don’t know what’s being proposed.

Lam misrepresented her past statements in order to make her policy look less serious - “it’s only about criminals”. Exactly what Tory thinktanker Gavin Rice did when I criticised this policy on Twitter. She isn’t called on it. This is how we can end up with mass deportation by accident.
"Because those were not the conditions under which you came" is fine for commit a serious crime.
This is just a lie for: revoke past ILR to nurses
Peston says: "Sure, but that is not hundreds of thousands of people": again misinformed & misleading
It is all among 430k people not on £38k (!)

So Peston failed to ask
"No British government has ever revoked permanent status retrospectively. has it"
"Has ANY government done this since Idi Amin?"
"So you want to deport most nurses who aren't citizens, simply because they don't earn enough money. Do you think that is fair play?"

I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault.
