FARAGE UNVEILS 'MASS DEPORTATION' PLAN: QUIT ECHR, AIRBASE DETENTION FOR 24,000, FIVE DAILY REMOVAL FLIGHTS

Nigel Farage said a Reform UK government would withdraw Britain from the ECHR, end asylum rights for small-boat arrivals, sign repatriation deals with origin states, detain up to 24,000 on air bases, and run five deportation flights a day—potentially scaling removals into the hundreds of thousands. He framed the plan as public-safety focused despite human-rights concerns; Reuters notes 37,000 small-boat arrivals last year and that about two-thirds of such asylum claims succeed.
