Is Reform using their MP Sarah Pochin to test how far they can go with their rhetoric?

The debate about the ILR might be the goutte d'eau for us. For the first time, the man is not shutting down a discussion about not living in the UK. Even racist France looks appealing to him right now. Le sigh.

Let's put the same manhunt energy as was put to catch the horrible predator (you know, the one called 'asylum seeker' as if not being an a.s would have made him less of a predator) who was accidentally let out days ago.

The tides have changed in Wales. This is what I see happening in May 2026. Rhun is managing to rally so many Labour voters, it's very interesting to observe. I've heard him speak, met him and my scepticism alarm didn't go off. He does talk sense. Labour should be worried.
Delighted for my friend Lindsay, whom I am sure will be a fine MS, and for the people of Caerphilly.

Yes, they are actually saying that a "foreigner" who has worked here for decades, paid National Insurance, & is entitled BECAUSE OF THAT to a state pension, would be deported for the crime of claiming it.
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.
