00:00We've recently seen reform take a strong stance to rescind the indefinite leave to remain.

00:04So what is the current government going to do in order to secure the future of these individuals

00:10who evidently contribute so much to the society?

00:13This is one of the most shocking things from reform.

00:15It really is, and I'm really glad you've raised it,

00:17because it is one thing to say that people who are here illegally

00:23and shouldn't be in this country should be removed, and they should.

00:26It's another to say people who are legally here should be removed.

00:31It's a shocking thing for reform to have said.

00:33These are people who have been in our country a long time,

00:37contributing to our society, maybe working in, I don't know, hospitals, schools, running businesses, our neighbours.

00:45And reform says it wants to deport them in certain circumstances.

00:49I think it is a real sign of just how divisive they are,

00:52and that their politics and their policies will tear this country apart.
