Nigel Farage Vows Mass Expulsions of Legal Migrants in UK Shake-Up

 

 

Nigel Farage has unveiled a sweeping Reform UK plan to expel hundreds of thousands of legal migrants, a proposal that would dismantle Britain’s current immigration system.

 

According to The Telegraph, Reform would abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) within 100 days of taking power, forcing migrants with permanent residency to reapply under stricter conditions. The new rules would demand higher salaries, stronger English proficiency, and bar foreign nationals from accessing welfare. Reform estimates the changes could save £234 billion over each migrant’s lifetime.

 

Party policy chief Zia Yusuf admitted the reforms would leave “hundreds of thousands” at risk of losing settled status, with many expected to leave voluntarily once benefits are withdrawn. Those who refuse would face enforcement under a “mass deportation programme.”

 

Farage is directly targeting Boris Johnson’s post-Brexit “Boriswave” immigration legacy, which saw 3.8 million arrivals. Many are due to qualify for ILR in January, granting them permanent rights to the NHS and welfare—something Farage brands “catastrophic.”

 

Official figures show 163,353 migrants were granted settlement in the year to June 2025, an 18% rise, with the total possibly surpassing one million. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under pressure over his “one in, one out” deal with France, which has resulted in just three deportations to date. Net legal migration remains high at 431,000, well above pre-Brexit levels.

 

The announcement comes after one of Britain’s largest Right-wing rallies, where around 100,000 protesters led by Tommy Robinson marched through London chanting anti-migration slogans.

Key Takeaways

• Farage’s plan: Scrap ILR, force re-applications, and launch mass deportations.

• Targeting Boris Johnson’s legacy: Reform blames 3.8 million “Boriswave” migrants for long-term strain.

• Political backdrop: Starmer faces criticism as net migration stays high and deportations remain minimal.

He should remove all Muslims from our Christian country.

 

Alternatively, he could just ban all religion from the UK.

 

Obviously, those that choose to worship, not those who were just born in religion.

That's exactly why Farage will never become PM—pandering to that kind of divisive hate alienates the vast majority of voters who value inclusivity and reject xenophobia.

Not devisive at all, once they've all gone. Muslims add nothing but trouble to any country 

 

I'd be happy to hear of any country where Muslims live in peace and prosperity, without harming women, without harming people of other religions, without harming homosexuals or even without killing each other.

He might lose some votes from those with Thai wives.

Didn't think many Thai wives of Brit citizens were Muslim.

From a man living on the fiddle in a foreign country. Get a proper VISA, and if you can no longer meet the financial requirements go home.

Farage is way infront of all other parties in all opinion polls so he must be doing something right. For instance Starmer has this stupid idea of 1 in 1 out plan. On Saturday in one day over a thousand illegals crossed the Channel into the UK.

Seems unlikely Farage will succeed in doing so.

 

It is more an election promise that will not be kept once in office.

Maybe. I wonder if we'll get the chance to see? I'd guess that if, he, or another reformer, gets in, there would be at least partial action. Of course, all that will depend on several laws and treaties being scrapped or replaced, plus how much civil disobedience emerges.

I doubt many will hit the streets once the Illegals start getting removed and our country is being returned. We can only wait and see if Farage backs up his promise we simply cannot take anymore coming in.

Where does he refer to Muslims?

I could live with that.

Britain isn't really a good place to take foreign wives.

And this is coming from a Brit who actually lives in Thailand, a Buddhist country, but who does NOT live in the UK.

Fair enough.  But I think any Brits going through the process of LTR for their wives will be shocked at having to fork out even higher costs and more stringent English tests for their loved ones.  

Another Brexit benefit. Legal immigration wasn't much of an issue when we were an EU member. Coincidence? I don't think so.

 

Wrt the proposed policy itself. An individual who now has permanent residency will have that status removed by Reform. Nothing approaching fairness and morality to be seen there.

Disagree. Immigration has been an increasing concern for many since the EU was formed and after Blair got in. 

Anyone who thinks that the chief cheerleader of the catastrophe that was brexit will make a good leader is seriously misguided. I will grant you that he is a great communicator, but in reality he is nothing more than a charlatan who panders to the worst base instincts of a minority of the electorate. He offers no real solutions to the myriad of domestic and international problems that the UK faces. Didn't he insist that brexit would restore the UK's sovereignty? If he kicks out all the immigrants, who will prop up the NHS, staff the care homes, harvest crops....? Its the easiest thing in the world to say what is wrong, and to advocate pie in the sky, quick-fix policies that will never see the light of day and have no real-life consequences.

When did The UK become a Christian Country?

It a a multifaith country as more than 50% are non Christian!

Religion in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

King Charles, defender of faith: what the monarchy’s long relationship with religion may look like under the new sovereign

Christianity is the largest religion in the United Kingdom. Results of the 2021 Census for England and Wales showed that Christianity is the largest religion (though it makes up less than half of the population at 46.2%), followed by the non-religious (37.2%), Islam (6.5%), Hinduism (1.7%), Sikhism (0.9%), Buddhism (0.5%), Judaism (0.5%), and others (0.6%)

Thailand

Only way to do it is to leave the ECHR and take away the pull factors. That means housing them in some distant camp far away from communities and cities (not in hotels etc.) until their application is processed, then deporting all failed cases. Only way to do that is to tell their home countries and France/the EU too that failure to accept returns will result in visas being denied for all citizens and certain economic sanctions too. Might be tough, but the money saved would more than compensate as it's like 8.2 million pounds a day to house these fraudsters. We should be helping our own first, like British homeless, veterans, and pensioners.

You would also have to change the law to prevent frivolous lawsuits from parasite lawyers who try to delay the process so as to enrich themselves... need some change, and it looks like the UK public is getting more than just a little pi$$ed off with the situation.

Why doesn't the UK take action to ban the Islamification of its laws? Why not ban Halal slaughter. It's cruel and inhumane treatment of animals. Not to mention that Rupert Lowe has claimed that halal meat is being sold already unlabeled in non-halal shelves. In other words, halal is replacing the existing UK standard for killing animals.

nevertheless its what the majority of the electorate want to see happening  and Farage is the only one brave enough to even discuss the issue
