Ann Widdecombe Proposes 'Secure Reception Centres' for Migrants

The Reform UK spokesperson also suggests temporary solutions for prison overcrowding at the party's conference.

Ann Widdecombe, a former Tory minister and current Reform UK spokesperson, advocates for housing illegal immigrants in 'secure reception centres' instead of hotels.
Widdecombe argues this approach would expedite the process of sending back migrants who arrive unlawfully in the UK.
At the Reform UK conference, Widdecombe criticized Labour's policy of reducing prisoners' sentences, calling for more temporary prison spaces.
She recalled past proposals for addressing prison overcrowding, including using disused holiday camps and Portakabins from decommissioned oil rigs.
TV personality Ant Middleton also spoke at the conference, warning of potential civil unrest if British culture and identity are not strengthened.
