US EditionTory Defection Despite Farage’s Outrageous Taliban Deportation Plan Shows How Low Both Parties Will Go
The Archbishop of York condemned Nigel Farage's proposal to deport 600,000 asylum seekers, including children, citing it as contrary to British values of compassion and fairness.
- On Tuesday, Nigel Farage unveiled a Reform UK blueprint to deport 600,000 asylum seekers and pledged to scale up detention capacity to 24,000.
- By proposing legal changes, Farage said the scheme would require leaving the European Convention on Human Rights and replacing the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights as a response to growing public anger over the small boats asylum crisis.
- The plan envisages diplomatic deals, including with the Taliban, to return asylum seekers to countries like Iran, Sudan, Eritrea and Syria despite warnings of harm.

- Reports say Farage will travel to Washington, DC to speak at the National Conservatism conference on September 2, while a High Court judge ruled asylum seekers can't be housed beyond September 12 and the Home Office warned closing an asylum hotel risks protests.
