Exclusive data: there has been a MASSIVE spike in the number of people stripped of their British citizenship by the government. (1/4)

Between 2006 and 2016, the power to deprive citizenship if "conducive to the public good" was used 50 times. In 2017 alone, it happened 104 times. (2/4)

Using the deprivation of citizenship power in practice is a new phenomenon. It was not used at all between 1973 and 2002 (3/4).

Now deprivation of citizenship - banishment, effectively - is used even when national security is not at stake. freemovement.org.uk/british-nation… (4/4)

#Fight4Naija

Today is an exciting day for this campaign as we will be sharing the most important issue in our ambitious plan for Nigeria that shows our readiness to govern from Day One. I will be telling you how we intend to lift 80 million Nigerians out of poverty. #Fight4Naija

We expect citizens to hold us to account for every word we say and every promise we make, not just on our innovative solutions for tackling poverty which I would be sharing today, but on our entire manifesto to be released to the public on Friday. #Fight4Naija

1. Okay #auspol, here comes the big #s44 #citizenship drop. Someone will have to bring this up, and actually someone who should know better already has. Let’s get some height first, survey the terrain and identify the targets.

2. On Sunday I listed the 15 lower house MPs I believe most likely to be headed out the door because they’re dual citizens. I could add about ten more, the tap never stops running, but for now this thread reviews the cases of one category of MP.

3. Either now, or later, you’ll ask yourself “who is this cassowary and how did he find out all this stuff?” Easy: I looked. I’ve spent nearly 100 hours on this. Also, I’m pretty good at patterns and analysis. I used to work as a journalist and in humanitarian relief.
