In addition to this, most migrants who move to the UK pay what’s known as the Immigration Health Surcharge of £1,035 per year in order to access the NHS on top of exactly the same levels of taxation as everyone else.

Badenoch know it fine well. But she knows the stupids don’t know it. And she also knows the stupids will believe the lies they want to believe, the lies that support their small-minded prejudices, rather than the facts that challenge them.
Better than that you can’t access any of it until you have a GPwhich is impossible as they require so many UK ID checks it takes months for the newly arrived to gather.So in effect the govt are getting money for absolutely nothing & then when my husband gets a job he’ll be paying taxes like e’1 else
That’s mistaken. Making a claim for a social welfare benefit in the U.K. never depends on already being registered with a GP. But proving evidence of incapacity for work might.
I think we are talking about different things. I am talking about my husband who has recently arrived in the UK on a spouse visa & cannot access NHS services without registering with a doctor. His visa also clearly states he cannot access benefits
didn't take long for these particularly terrible politicians (dare I say humans) to "forget" how much immigration actually INCREASED after Brexit and while they were in power. If I were Orwell, I'd be on the Whisky already.
She knows it, of course but hopes (and believes) that the swamp dwellers she is trying to appeal to don't. And until the MSM calls out these blatant lies, shell continue to spout them and stoke the hatred the tories thrive on.
The so-called liberal press, New York Times, Washington Post have both effectively taken the knee for trump. And of course there’s Murdoch’s Fox News, Wall Street Journal and New York Post.
It’s a nightmare media-wise both sides of the pond.
Tbh given the Brexit debates where many MPs didn’t read the reports (yellowhammer) or know what a SM / CU is but voted anyway the idea that she knows is speculation and I’m not convinced

Oh, and we pay a shit-ton of taxes both here and as US citizens, to the Federal govt there too.
It’s not fun.
Unsurprisingly, @thetimes.com hasn’t bothered to give any sort of context to her statements, as per usual.
