Reform UK: Yusuf sparks public spat with Jenrick over party's immigration policy

Two of Reform UK's big beasts descended into a social media spat over the party's migration policy. On Sunday, Robert Jenrick , the party's economics spokesman, insisted that foreign nationals living in council housing would not face automatic deportations - apparently at odds with his party's stated policy. The former Tory MP said: 'If they fail to meet our criteria because they're not in work or they're not working as many hours, not earning enough money, they won't be able to renew their work visa because [indefinite leave to remain] won't exist and they'll be asked to leave.' But tom Tuesday the party's home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf rebuked Mr Jenrick, saying his answer 'is not Reform policy'. 'As the person responsible for our deportation plan, I want [to] ensure people know where we stand: If a foreign national lives in social housing at taxpayers' expense, they automatically fail our economic test and will be deported'.
