FARAGE DROPS A MIGRATION BOMBSHELL. The Reform UK leader says migrants arriving illegally should not be free to move into surrounding communities while their cases are processed. Instead, he argues accommodation sites should operate as detention centres. The proposal is already dividing opinion across the country, with some calling it common sense and others calling it deeply controversial

Nigel Farage declares illegal migrants in army bases would be BANNED from towns under Reform government.

Nigel Farage has declared that a Reform government would transform military barracks currently accommodating asylum seekers into detention facilities on its very first day in office.

The party leader outlined plans requiring emergency legislation designed to circumvent existing human rights protections, which would stop migrants who entered Britain illegally from moving freely into surrounding communities.

Speaking to reporters while visiting Crowborough in East Sussex, Mr Farage pointed to the local converted barracks now housing close to 400 asylum seekers.

He said: “A secure army camp down the road wouldn’t worry the residents of this little town of Crowborough.

Reform has pledged to introduce laws rendering all asylum applications from illegal arrivals inadmissible, clearing the path for forced removals or voluntary departures.
