Nigel Farage has proposed abolishing Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK, claiming it could save the government £234 billion and prioritise British citizens. However, this claim lacks factual basis. ILR holders are lawful residents who have met all legal requirements to remain in the UK. Abolishing ILR risks human rights violations and undermines public trust in the UK’s legal system, which is founded on fairness and legal certainty.

Critics argue that Farage’s plan is discriminatory, targeting lawful residents while ignoring the real issue of migrant boats crossing the English Channel. The proposal also mirrors Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s costly BritID strategy, which has been criticised for wasting public funds without offering practical solutions. With the UK already operating **two national identity systems—the passport and national ID—**this reform appears unnecessary and redundant.

Experts suggest the government should instead focus on reducing taxes and making the UK attractive for investment, following Ireland’s successful model. Such policies can strengthen the economy while upholding human rights and the rule of law.
