"There are also a large number of people in this country who came here legally, but in effect shouldn't have been able to do so. It's not the fault of the individuals who came here, they just shouldn't have been able to do so. They will also need to go home. What that will leave is a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people."
"A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has proposed that large numbers of legally settled UK immigrants must be deported, in order to ensure the country is mostly culturally coherent. The Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, has been urged to condemn the comments by Katie Lam, a Home Office shadow minister and a whip for the party. Labour has called on the Conservatives to clarify their plans to strip thousands of people of the right to remain permanently in the UK."
An MP widely seen as a potential future Conservative leader proposed deporting large numbers of legally settled UK immigrants to achieve a mostly culturally coherent population. The MP's comments, including that some legal arrivals 'shouldn't have been able to do so' and 'will also need to go home', prompted calls for the Tory leader Kemi Badenoch to condemn the remarks. Labour demanded clarity on plans to strip thousands of indefinite leave to remain and on whether benefits use or family separation would trigger removal. Conservatives have not defined which benefits would count or how families might be affected. A Guardian feature invites people with indefinite leave to remain to share encrypted responses.
