Farage’s proposal to to scrap indefinite leave to remain branded ‘yet more performative politics from a bunch of millionaires who do not live in the real world’

REFORM’S plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain would destroy the NHS and rip families apart, unions and campaigners warned today.

Party leader Nigel Farage insisted the move would save billions despite a think tank that he cited the figures from saying they were inaccurate.

Unison general secretary Christina McAnea said: “These cruel proposals from Reform UK will cause chaos, leave the economy reeling and tear apart communities. 

“The effect on the NHS and social care workforce would be no less than catastrophic, with thousands of essential, dedicated staff being shown the door. It’ll be impossible to maintain vital public services.

“Scapegoating migrants and spreading anxiety won’t solve any of the country’s deep-seated problems. It will simply make them worse.”

GMB national secretary Rachel Harrison said: “Apart from being morally repugnant, this half-baked policy is also completely unworkable.

“Our public services — especially the NHS — and our care sector are utterly reliant on migrant workers.

“Without them our care and health sectors would collapse.

“This is yet more performative politics from a bunch of millionaires and their pals who do not live in the real world.”
