No pensioner deportations under Reform, says Kruger

Danny Kruger, the newest MP for Reform UK, has refuted claims of a potential “pensioner deportation program.” Amid concerns that proposals to eliminate indefinite leave to remain status under a Reform government could result in long-time UK residents being forced to leave, Kruger dismissed the notion. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing UK citizens and culture, following his recent defection from the Conservatives.

During an interview on the Political Thinking podcast, Kruger addressed the controversial stance of his new party on indefinite leave to remain. He clarified that there is no intention to implement a pensioner deportation program, suggesting that affected residents should consider applying for British citizenship instead. Kruger highlighted the need to ensure that individuals who have recently arrived in the country leave voluntarily if they are no longer eligible for benefits.

Kruger justified the proposed changes by pointing to the scale and speed of immigration from Muslim countries, expressing concerns about cultural integration. He criticized the use of language restrictions on politicians like Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, advocating for more relatable communication with the public. Kruger’s assertions about the impact of immigration on societal segregation and cultural divisions reflect his belief that the current rate of immigration is too rapid for successful integration.
