Nigel Farage says his Reform UK party would impose sweeping measures on asylum and migration if it wins power. Multiple outlets report Farage is promising to end asylum-related processes, including scrapping asylum tribunals and cancelling legal refugee routes, as well as removing or halting resettlement schemes. One report also links the pledge to a period of weaker polling and continuing political controversies.
Different coverage adds further detail on how Farage would act beyond the UK’s borders. Reports cite plans to deport people, including a stated figure of 90,000, and to introduce actions aimed at countries that do not accept the return of migrants from Britain. These measures are described as including tariffs, visa bans, and restrictions on airlines, with further announcements planned for a press conference.
Outlets also report Farage intends to outline hardline proposals next week involving specific groups, including Afghan and Palestinian migrants, though the extent and mechanisms are not fully consistent across the different articles.
