In addition to that (I don't think we should ban it), the Tories' immigration plan is very much matching reform and quite nasty:

I'll link to the actual legislation:

This is a mass deportation of people who are here legally. There is no exception for pensioners who've since retired, whose salary is below £38,000, and who receive social protection in either pensions or other benefits. People who may have families here, lives here, have worked here, and who did everything legally and by the rules set out.
This isn't Reform. It's actually slightly worse than reform as far as I can see.
I don't like the way this country is going. I may be wrong but I also don't think most people in the country support this whatever they say on X.
