Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he would restrict foreign nationals’ access to social housing, ahead of an upcoming by-election. According to reporting, Farage’s proposal would require foreign national tenants to leave social housing within a short, defined period. The plan is described as giving tenants three months to find alternative accommodation. If they do not relocate within that timeframe, Farage says they could face deportation. The policy is presented as part of Farage’s wider campaign messaging and is positioned as a response to housing and immigration concerns raised during the by-election run-up. BBC coverage frames the proposal in terms of relocation and potential deportation consequences for affected tenants, while The Guardian similarly reports that Farage vows to ban foreign nationals from social housing. Both accounts treat the pledge as a political commitment rather than an existing policy change, and they do not indicate that it is currently in force. The proposal is therefore best understood as a stated reform plan linked to the electoral contest.
