FARAGE PUSHES MASS DEPORTATIONS: RAF DETENTION, 30-DAY REMOVALS, ECHR EXIT IN HARDLINE MIGRATION BILL

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he will introduce an Illegal Migration Bill to arrest small-boat arrivals on landing, detain them at RAF bases, deny asylum claims, and deport within 30 days. He proposes repatriation deals with countries including Afghanistan and Eritrea, revisiting Rwanda-style removals and naming Albania as another destination. Farage also calls for withdrawing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights, scrapping the Human Rights Act, and seeking derogations from UNCAT and the Refugee Convention. Home Office data cited: 111,000 asylum applications in YE June 2025 (48% grant rate), about 43,000 small-boat arrivals.
