Reform UK vows to deport 6,000 illegal migrants every week. Zia Yusuf will give a big speech in which he will reveal extreme intentions for a crackdown on immigration.
Zia Yusuf will say on Monday that a Reform UK government will send back up to 6,000 illegal immigrants per week. Nigel Farage’s home affairs head believes that 600,000 individuals will be sent back over five years. He says this will stop the “invasion” of small boats.
In a big address in Dover, Mr. Yusuf will talk about his radical idea, Operation Restoring Justice. His ideas, which are similar to Trump’s, include big changes to the law, like quitting the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), mass deportations, and a zero-tolerance policy for knife violence and Islamist radicalism.
The ideas could make it more easier for people to leave the UK. Since Labour won the 2024 election, some 58,500 illegal immigrants and foreign criminals have fled, most of them on their own.
Mr. Yusuf is likely to remark, “For decades, the Tories and Labour have looked the other way while the entire fabric of our society has been under attack.
“The social contract hasn’t just been breached; it’s been broken.

Mr. Yusuf is likely to add, “For decades, the Tories and Labour have looked the other way while the entire fabric of our society has been under attack.
Not only has the social compact been broken, it has been destroyed.
“My message to the British people is clear: I will keep our borders safe and make you feel safe.”
If the Reform Party wins the next general election, which is predicted to happen in 2029, it would quickly develop space for 24,000 illegal immigrants to stay and increase deportation flights to five per day.
In his speech, Mr. Yusuf is likely to talk about new measures that Reform calls “protecting British culture” and a “zero-tolerance” approach to Islamist extremism. This is in addition to the party’s recent statement that it will ban the Muslim Brotherhood.
As part of Labour’s campaign on illegal immigration, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood warned Angola, Namibia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo in November that the UK would not let their citizens in unless they quickly improved their cooperation on taking back deportees.
Since then, those countries have decided to work together.
But Mr. Yusuf will say that Labour is proposing visa bans on only a “handful of African countries responsible for only a minuscule proportion of illegal migrants.”
He would say that Reform would go farther and focus on nations with more illegal immigrants, like Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan.
He will speak out against the “cosy consensus” that Britain needs immigration to keep the economy growing in an attack on Labour and the Conservatives.
He will remark that raising GDP depends on growing productivity, not on hiring cheap, unskilled workers.
He will also go after Boris Johnson, who used to be the prime minister.
He will also say, “Boris opened our borders and brought in an amazing 3.4 million migrants in three years. Most of them came on non-work visas.”
“They will soon get ILR [indefinite leave to remain], which means they will have access to our welfare state for the rest of their lives.” Living off the British taxpayer for the rest of their lives. This will cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
“That’s why we need to stop the Boriswave. A government led by Reform will stop all welfare payments to people from other countries.
“Reform wants to divide our country, not deliver for the British people,” said Anna Turley, head of the Labour Party.
“Their plan to send people back to their home countries who have followed the rules, worked hard, and built their lives here—our friends, neighbours, and coworkers—is a direct attack on settled families and is not British.”
Chris Philp, the Shadow Home Secretary, said, “It’s clear that Reform doesn’t have a problem with Conservative plans because they just copied and pasted them.” They can’t come up with their own ideas, which shows that they can’t really do anything to protect our borders.
“The Conservatives’ BORDERS Plan is clear. We will leave the ECHR and ECAT, stop illegal immigrants from making asylum and other protection claims, create a new Removals Force, set a binding annual limit on legal migration to dramatically lower the number of immigrants, increase deportations to 150,000 a year, and finally end the endless cycle of appeals that has kept Britain’s borders under strain. This is how much action Britain needs to take to get things back on track.
“The Conservatives are the only ones who are working hard to bring back order, protect our borders, and keep our country safe.”
