Overview

  • Nigel Farage detailed a "detain and deport" policy that would end asylum claims and legal challenges for people arriving in small boats by scrapping the Human Rights Act and withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights.
  • Reform UK proposes five deportation flights every day, with The Times reporting total removals could reach the hundreds of thousands.
  • Arrivals would face immediate arrest and automatic detention, with new crimes for entering without documents or returning after removal.
  • The plan includes holding facilities for about 24,000 people on surplus RAF bases, with Reform estimating £10 billion over five years for construction, detention, staffing, flights and diplomatic incentives.
  • Reform seeks return or hosting deals with Afghanistan, Eritrea, Rwanda and Albania, with Ascension Island cited as a backup location, and says a full plan will be published on Tuesday.
