Summary
More than 230,000 people would face eviction under Conservative plans to end social housing for foreign nationals, with affected tenants given six months to leave.
Kemi Badenoch cast the proposal as a way to stop Britain being a "cash machine for the UK," sharpening the party's push to reserve homes for British families.
Labour called the plan an "unserious, unworkable proposal" copied from Reform, while earlier criticism from housing groups warned it could drive homelessness.
The proposal follows the Conservatives' broader pledge to bar foreign nationals from new social housing tenancies in England and to reclaim some existing homes from non-UK, non-Irish and non-EU households.
