Nigel Farage has unleashed a new attack on the government’s handling of illegal migration, pledging to create a dedicated Minister for Deportations if Reform UK gains power. Speaking in Dover, the Reform leader said it was time someone in government was “held accountable” for the growing crisis, adding that the current system is failing to remove criminals and illegal entrants fast enough.
He wants a specialist unit within the Home Office focused solely on deportations, particularly targeting foreign nationals who commit crimes or enter the UK illegally. “What I’m calling for isn’t actually anything particularly radical,” he said. “It’s actually just common sense.”
