This government’s plans/policy for refugees is shocking. The idea that someone has to wait 10 years before they achieve settled status is cruel; to not allow families to stay/be together is evil - and even that word is probably not strong enough.

Honestly, where have you been all my life - politics desperately needed this kind of refreshing honesty.
No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.
The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.
That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.
