Because unfortunately many seem to be a bit hard of thinking, same type of people who voted for Brexit because the EU stops us having fish &chips out of newspaper.

There’s no way he will release it, he will stop it when it hits his desk. It’s all for show.

Reform have so far proved that they are even too stupid to run local councils, how on earth would they construct in government a system to deport millions? Imagine the cost alone?! And the endless court cases.

This kind of rhetoric appeals to the hard-of-thinking who can’t join the dots and believe it’s actually doable. But unfortunately they will be fired up enough to vote. We are at least 3.5million EU citizens living in the UK. 1)

They don’t do detail, as is apparent, but many of us older EU citizens, who have made our lives here, also draw a state pension, which is defined as a “benefit”. I wouldn’t put it past those evil bastards to claim it back either.

How about state pension which is very clearly classed as a benefit?

It’s easy to be very negative about reform but I’m hoping they’ll burn out before the next election with too much incompetence and scandals. Surely people must see they are not the answer.

Patel, Braverman, Badenoch and now Mahmood? All here because of immigration so you'd think they'd have some understanding of why people migrate?

It doesn't make sense, most want to start a new life here because their home country is in chaos. Shouldn't they be helped instead and made to feel welcome? It would surely cost more to leave them in limbo indefinitely.

He won’t risk losing in the mid terms, something will be fiddled I am sure. Scary times.

Only if the mid terms are conducted in a fair and legal manner, I think. Can’t see anything happening before then. And that’s still a big IF, he did say Americans would never have to vote again. I bet the Efiles will never be released in full.

How? I don’t know how the US system works when a president is so obviously very ill and incompetent.

Quite. The “special relationship “ means nothing to Trump anyway when he flipflops daily. Not sure if Starmer is up to the job though. The BBC has so much brilliant content other than the dubious news coverage.

And of course they know they wouldn’t be deported - presumably because they earn a lot more than the approx. £38000 base line.

She did say recently on the BBC Newsnight show that she was fully supportive of Trump, but wanted the Files released and believes the girls. Can’t wait for her response to Trump dumping her.

Most well functioning countries are social democracies with highish taxes and excellent services. Look to Scandinavia for example where young children and old people are very well looked after at greatly subsidised costs. But the Brits hate paying tax and like to complain about lack of services.
