Existing ILR's - Any news

Hi there. Are there any updates and changes happening for existing ILR'S? Is it advised to go for British citizenship to protect yourself from taking away exiting ILR? Thanks

Nothing concrete has been published or enacted beyond what has been proposed in the white paper and discussed on this board.
Naturalisation is a very personal decision. If you’re considering it at all think about the fees which are already quite high and likely to be ramped up significantly every year. Just my 2p.

Keep in mind that British citizenship and/or its associated benefits (including the right to reside in the UK) can also be taken away.

In the 1960s and 70s, the right to reside in the UK was stripped from Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKCs) who didn't have a direct connection with the United Kingdom itself (and whose only connection to that status was through a colony or colonies).

So even being a British citizen doesn't give a cast iron right to reside in the UK.
