Population Matters has long called for “zero net-migration” to 🇬🇧 “one in, one out” - a position more extreme than the BNP. There was also a suggestion that child benefit/tax credits should be scrapped for third and subsequent children.

With news of the existential threat to 🇬🇧 farming from this disastrous Australian FTA, I am being pulled to step up to focus on @BritishSave
