Errr... Would this not include someone who has Nigerian citizenship through her parents, and who has admitted to hacking Harriet Harman's website, a crime which at the time carried a maximum sentence of five years?
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️
