Swedish MP intervenes in ‘damaging’ Brexit row over elderly Britons ordered to leave

Swedish MP intervenes in ‘damaging’ Brexit row over elderly Britons ordered to leave

Migration minister asked how he intends to stop deportations of people ‘who had lived in Sweden for decades’ The deportation and removal of British citizens from Sweden over Brexit residency rights is damaging relations with the UK amid efforts to improve links with London, a Swedish MP has said. Häkan Svenneling, representative for Vârmland, where a 78-year-old British widow, Joyce Thomas, has been given four weeks to leave Sweden after 21 years of residency, has written to the migration minister, Johan Forssell, asking what he “intends to do to stop the deportations”.

Not hard to see why Reform did not announce their plan to abolish Personal Independence Payment until *after* the by-election..

Nigel Farage triggered a £300,000 by-election while facing scrutiny over his finances. Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for a political tantrum. Our “Clacton Clause” would stop MPs under investigation triggering by-elections to escape scrutiny. @lisasmartmp.bsky.social

“I didn’t know that this would hit my mum. I thought it would only hit those faking scroungers I read about in the Mail.”

Depressing to see BBC headline treating this as if it's a serious proposition But Reform are serious about returning us to an 18th-century level of social support So many of their voters depend on the sorts of benefits they would strip away #TurkeysVoting4Christmas www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just did a search of the Daily Telegraph and between the 28th July and 14th Aug, they published at least 36 articles on Jason Arday. When will the press learn?

Anywhere else than Villa Tv to watch this afternoon, anyone know?
