Reform UK leader promises to deport everyone entering the UK illegally
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has issued a powerful and uncompromising pledge on the issue of illegal immigration, vowing that everyone who enters the United Kingdom unlawfully will be deported. Delivering his message with trademark clarity at a press conference, Farage declared firmly: “They won't be coming!”, a phrase that encapsulates the no-nonsense stance Reform UK is now championing.
Farage's blueprint goes far beyond simply dealing with those arriving illegally. Under his plan, the UK would also put an end to all asylum claims made by individuals who arrive under the guise of travel visas or student visas, closing the loopholes that have been repeatedly exploited in recent years.
In addition, Reform UK is determined to ensure that all foreign nationals convicted of crimes in Britain will be swiftly deported, removing the burden on British taxpayers and reinforcing the principle that those who abuse the country's hospitality have no right to remain here.
This clear, decisive position reflects what many voters increasingly demand: a government willing to defend the nation's borders and uphold the rule of law without hesitation or compromise. Farage argued that after a series of strong results in local elections, combined with steady gains in the opinion polls, Reform UK has established itself as the only political party truly trusted to tackle Britain's immigration crisis.
By seizing the initiative and offering policies that cut through the excuses and empty promises of the established parties, Farage and Reform UK are making the case that the time has come for bold, effective action to restore fairness, order, and security to the country.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage speaks frankly to The Sun.
Nigel Farage understands better than anyone how dramatically the mood of British politics has shifted — he feels it every time he walks down the supermarket aisle.
He calls it the “supermarket test.” A decade ago, shoppers would spot him among the shelves, glance over their shoulders, then cautiously approach with a whispered word of support — always wary of who might be watching.
Back then, Farage was their quiet confession — the hidden hope they'd never dare declare out loud. But times have changed. Now, the conversations are different — louder, more urgent, and unmistakably clear.
Today, the message he hears is the same up and down the country: “You're the last chance, mate. If you don't get in, we're finished.”
It's not just a passing remark — it's the raw, frustrated verdict of millions who feel ignored by Westminster and betrayed by the same old parties. For them, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are not a protest vote — they are the final hope for a Britain that works for its own people again.
YouGov's latest MRP poll signals a historic realignment as Reform UK threatens to eclipse both Labour and the Conservatives amid Tory turmoil and leadership doubts.
YouGov's first MRP survey since the general election indicates that Nigel Farage's party is on course to win the largest number of seats, though still short of a parliamentary majority.
At the same time, Britain's two dominant parties of the past century are projected to fall below a combined 50% share of the vote. Tom Harwood analyses the Conservative Party's dramatic implosion at the polls, scrutinises Kemi Badenoch's leadership strategy, and examines whether Reform UK is positioned to surpass both Labour and the Conservatives.
Treasury minister Emma Reynolds floundered on live radio, unable to name the route or cost of the £10bn Lower Thames Crossing — the very project she was there to promote.
It's more than a bit worrying when a government minister takes to the airwaves to promote a major infrastructure initiative, only to reveal a striking lack of familiarity with the very project in question.
Such was the case with Treasury minister Emma Reynolds, who appeared on LBC to discuss the government's new infrastructure fund—only to falter when asked basic details about one of its flagship projects: the Lower Thames Crossing.
During her interview with Nick Ferrari, Reynolds was unable to recall where the new road linking Essex and Kent would begin and end. When asked directly, she responded hesitantly and admitted, “I can't recall the exact landing zone.”
Her inability to answer a straightforward question on the project's geography undermines the credibility of the announcement and raised serious questions about ministerial preparedness.
Worse still, Reynolds confused the Dartford Tunnel with Dartmouth, an error that further highlighted her shaky grasp of the subject matter.
On the issue of cost, she fared no better. Despite being on air to outline a “substantial” financial commitment to the crossing, Reynolds could not cite the total figure, vaguely referring to it as “quite a lot of money” and “several billion pounds.”
It was left to Ferrari to supply the actual figure: £10 billion.
David Bull Appointed Reform UK Chairman Following Yusuf Resignation
Nigel Farage has appointed Dr David Bull as the new Chairman of Reform UK, following the resignation of Zia Yusuf amid internal disagreement over a proposed policy on banning the burqa.
Dr Bull, a former television presenter and qualified medical doctor, was formally introduced as Chairman during a press conference in Westminster. Party leader Nigel Farage stated that Dr Bull's role would be to "provide leadership" rather than engage in administrative duties.
Praising the new appointee, Mr Farage described Dr Bull as bringing "terrific verve, energy, and enthusiasm" to the position, and expressed confidence in his ability to contribute significantly to the party's direction.
Dr Bull succeeds Mr Yusuf, who stepped down last week after a reported fallout over policy differences.
Nigel Farage Outlines Bold Vision for Wales During Port Talbot Visit.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage visited Port Talbot today to set out his party's ambitious plans for Wales, just months ahead of what could be a decisive election for the party's national prospects.
Writing in WalesOnline, the Reform UK leader offered a first glimpse of his Party's policy agenda, pledging to bring back coal mining in Wales and laying out a long-term commitment to reopen the Port Talbot steelworks — a move he described as central to reviving British industry and restoring pride to Welsh communities.
Mr Farage also reaffirmed the party's stance on immigration and asylum policy in Wales. He vowed to block the use of any buildings in the country for asylum seeker accommodation, end all funding to the Welsh Refugee Council, and scrap the Labour-led Welsh Government's “Nation of Sanctuary” initiative — policies he sees as out of touch with public opinion.
In a further boost to the party's growing local momentum, the Reform leader announced that independent Merthyr Tydfil councillors Andrew Barry and David Hughes have joined Reform UK — a sign, he said, that “the tide is turning.”
Reform UK is positioning itself as the only party willing to challenge the status quo and stand up for working people across Wales, pledging to restore industry, secure borders, and bring accountability back to politics.
Richard Tice talks about Zia Yusuf's Return To Reform UK
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice joined Mike Graham on TalkTV to highlight the shocking £4.7 billion cost of housing asylum seekers in hotels — a burden he called “a national disgrace.”
Tice criticised the Home Office's inefficiency and questioned whether the department is still acting in the “national interest.” He said, “This isn't just incompetence — it's a complete failure to put the British people first.”
The pair also discussed the policing crisis, blaming declining public trust on “woke leadership” and the growing influence of unelected quangos. “When policing priorities are shaped by ideology instead of public safety, we have a problem,” Tice warned.
They also addressed the return of Zia Yusuf as Reform UK chairman, just 48 hours after his resignation. Tice welcomed his comeback, praising Yusuf's dedication and saying the move “reaffirms our focus and strength as we challenge the political establishment.”
