Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart.
Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point.
Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

You can literally see CNN bending over backwards to avoid saying "fascism" when they describe Trump's speech as using "language condemned for its ties to White supremacist rhetoric"
FFS, he said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” That's the center square on the Fascist bingo card

A risk of this doubling-down approach (which clearly so far hasn’t had any upside) is not only that it worsens the defeat at the next GE, but also associates the party with cruelty - & ineffectual cruelty at that - in people’s minds for several generations.
