Farage just gave a press conference, and claimed that the red tape on businesses has risen since Brexit.
You know what? He's right. But he's wrong about the reason!
It's not because Brexit was done badly. It's because Brexit guarantees more bureaucracy because we have to duplicate EU institutions.

The central promise in Reform's council election campaign was to cut council tax
But it's not going well for them...
Afterwards, Farage personally said:
"if your council tax bill’s going up 5 per cent every year, I think you deserve something better"

Getting deported for taking maternity leave seems really REALLY wrong.
"I warn you not to fall in love with someone from another country. And if you do, I very specifically warn you that she mustn't take maternity leave."
The Conservatives have drafted the legislation.
ANY one of the conditions being met leads to ILR being revoked.
If annual income falls below £38,700 for six months (for any reason at all)
The Secretary of State would also have the powers add whatever further conditions they want.

Imagine spending years proving you belong here, paying thousands, following every rule - only for Nigel Farage to threaten to tear up your status.
This is not policy - it’s cruelty, it’s showmanship, and I for one, am sick to the damned back teeth of it.

Nigel Farage Wants to Tear Up Indefinite Leave to Remain - and Deport Legal Migrants in Britain
Reform UK’s so-called “Boriswave” rhetoric is a fantasy built on cruelty, cooked-up numbers, and Trump-style authoritarianism.

If you want to live in the UK with your non-Brit partner the British/settled resident must earn a Minimum Income Requirement (MIR) of £29,000. 50% of the workforce don’t earn that. Not even some of the Home Office’s own staff 🧵

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit.
