Overview
- Reform UK’s plan calls for five charter deportation flights every day over a five-year programme that Nigel Farage says would remove hundreds of thousands of people.
- The proposal sets a target to create 24,000 detention places within 18 months by repurposing surplus RAF and other military bases, with detainees held without bail.
- An emergency Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill would mandate immediate arrest and detention of small-boat arrivals and bar them from claiming asylum.
- The package includes withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights, repealing the Human Rights Act and introducing a British Bill of Rights.
- Farage proposes third‑country and overseas‑territory arrangements including Rwanda, Albania and Ascension Island, plus new crimes for return attempts or document destruction, with a five‑year £10 billion cost that allocates funds to bases, detention, staffing, charter flights and diplomatic incentives.
