Headline (from Guardian): 'Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say'
![Detail from article: 'ILR would be scrapped and replaced with a renewable five-year work visa with a high salary threshold, Yusuf will say, meaning tens of thousands [sic? - think this should be hundreds of thousands] currently with settled status could lose their right to be in the UK.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:776sm7tkbx5t5kcple6tr63l/bafkreidaxwckb4ytrhzaqgee4eyljj3lpurpxzlsfrdoaokiehnwuvehoi@jpeg)
Detail from article: 'ILR would be scrapped and replaced with a renewable five-year work visa with a high salary threshold, Yusuf will say, meaning tens of thousands [sic? - think this should be hundreds of thousands] currently with settled status could lose their right to be in the UK.'
In a way, I feel kind of grateful to Zia Yusuf for dragging my attention back to the fact that the party leading in the polls has as a policy deporting a group of people that includes my wife. It's oddly easy to forget this on a day-to-day level and I absolutely shouldn't.

A lot of the flaws in the new wuthering heights are shared with the new frankenstein but (puffing my pipe a little) you do notice that people are far less forgiving of emerald fennell's idées-fixes than they are of guillermo del toro's
