Wrote about Katie Lam
In defence of the rules-based order
The last time I saw my cousin, the former Tory MP Danny Kruger, I found myself trying to ginger him up a bit. I said, which I thought then and thought now – and which I can’t think it is betraying a c...

I think perhaps Katie Lam is a racist
Katie Lam's plan would mean parents with settled status who have children who are British citizens potentially being deported. Wouldn't it?

Just to repeat, Katie Lam is advocating for ethnic cleansing and Robert Peston just nods it along
So Peston failed to ask
"No British government has ever revoked permanent status retrospectively. has it"
"Has ANY government done this since Idi Amin?"
"So you want to deport most nurses who aren't citizens, simply because they don't earn enough money. Do you think that is fair play?"

Peston is a terrible journalist. Lam
is a horrendous, vicious and evil politician.

Peston tells Lam that she said something that he "genuinely didn't understand". "But who are these people who came legally who should leave?"
This does not look like faux naivety.
He should know the answer!
She misleads in her answer to him.
So he gives a misleading summary of her policy on air.

Lam says on air the policy is to remove those "because" they broke the rules/conditions under which they came
But her policy is to retrospectively change the rules/conditions under which they came!
Lam knows this will be perceived as unfair: she will feel "great personal sympathy" for deportees

Essential @sundersays.bsky.social thread on Katie Lam.
Ms Lam is proposing policies last used by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in 1972.

I'd like the press to stop referring to Katie Lam as a "rising star"
The @libdems.org.uk and I have written to the Conservative leader urging her to condemn the comments by one of her MPs who said large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

Your regular reminder that scrapping ILR for people who have come here and played by the rules, which is what Lam proposes here, is a position supported by 3% of the public
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam
She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"
(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)

In a mind blowing lack of human decency, sewer dwelling Shadow Home Office minister Katie Lam said some immigrants living legally in the UK should be deported to leave the country more "culturally coherent".
Disgusting human being.

Can we yeet this Katie Lam into the sun?
I'm thinking this through further and there is no difference between deporting people to form a "culturally coherent group of people" and Hitler saying jews could not be aryan.
Caution around Godwin's Law should be dropped. Katie Lam has openly supported nazi ideology.

She said both that integration matters but was very pessimistic about how possible it is after *many* generations
Language of "a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people" conveys a sense that *some* people may remain too visibly different, somehow, to be "culturally coherent"

I genuinely find this very worrying, as someone with settled status! sure, Lam probably won't be home secretary tomorrow, but the mood music is changing, you can feel it, and I just don't trust Labour to fight like hell on our behalf, so unclear where this is going to go
Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to
That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

This is Weald of Kent Conservative MP Katie Lam showing that now there is literally no difference between the Tories and Reform, and indeed between the neo-fascist parties of the British 70s and 80s.
Katie Lam envisages deporting many legal migrants + permanent residents. "What that will leave is a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"
"Not entirely" must intend to signal some regret at being unable to remove some British citizens who she sees as culturally incompatible

Tory MP Katie Lam demands that legally settled families be deported.
Barely concealed racism as Tories copy Reform. What next - special badges and camps for minorities.
A line in political discourse has been crossed.
Will the next road to Auschwitz and Treblinka go through Clacton?

This, also it’s genuinely stupefying that the lesson Lam takes from her ancestors having been refugees is that we shouldn’t accept refugees
So Lam's views are clearly exceptionally racist in practice, "mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people", but also utterly devoid of reality, no International law is not based on a principle of niceness, it's built on a recognition countries aren't.

The Conservative Party cannot be considered a responsible party of government again until and unless Ms Lam is forced to drop her Idi Amin migration proposal and apologise to those it threatens, or has the whip removed. It is as simple as that.
Breaking promises made to people the government thinks unpopular, and saying bad luck with health or unemployment is as reprehensible as criminality, is bad not just for those facing deportation but for all of us who care about Britain as a country that believes in fair play, decency and honesty.
