Reform UK intends to create an agency similar to the US ICE to deport up to 288,000 individuals annually, according to Zia Yusuf, the party’s new home affairs spokesperson. This includes plans to end indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status.

Yusuf will detail that ILR holders would shift to a renewable five-year work visa with a high salary threshold. He argues these changes are crucial for securing borders and ensuring public safety.

The Labour party criticizes these plans as divisive, saying they target individuals who have legally settled and contribute to the community. Labour Chair Anna Turley condemned the policies, highlighting Britain’s values of diversity and tolerance. Turley described the proposals as a direct attack on settled families and fundamentally un-British.

Yusuf will outline Reform UK's intention to withdraw from the European convention on human rights, imposing a legal duty on the home secretary to deport illegal migrants. The proposed UK Deportation Command would manage these operations, but experts warn of significant costs given the current detention capacity of about 2,500 spaces.

Reform UK also plans to redraw the mandate of the Prevent program to focus on Islamist extremism. Yusuf will advocate for broader stop and search powers and propose ending diversity initiatives within police forces. He intends to introduce a zero-tolerance approach to Islamist extremism, including measures against the Muslim Brotherhood.

The party also aims to preserve British culture, proposing measures to ban the conversion of churches into mosques. Yusuf emphasizes that maintaining Christian heritage is essential for national identity.

Labour has offered different changes to ILR, suggesting an extension of eligibility requirements from five years to ten. They have criticized former Prime Minister Boris Johnson for policies that increased migration, arguing that granting ILR leads to a lifetime of state dependency, though ILR holders make up a small percentage of universal credit claimants.

This will get them elected for sure. The opposition parties will merely need to show pictures/videos from Minneapolis in their ads to destroy them.

Good to see Restore UK are having the desired effect.

Rupert has frightened them

Reform = Islamic Conservative Party!

Mohammed Zia Yusef needs to be the first to go.

Quickly followed by Leila Ahmed Cunningham.

Funny how those two hide parts of their given names and nobody outs them.

Only need to mention Tommy Robinson and 10 lefties feel the need to post his real name.

Leila Ahmed Cunningham‘s real name is ‘Elizabeth Sterling Goodfellow’?

But you do demonstrate a point. People who are not white Anglo Saxon have no place in the Britain racists dream of.

Reform UK Ltd., promise you a UK ICE, just like they promised you an UK DOGE, we’re not hearing much of the latter these days and Brits can observe at leisure the failings of the former.

Why do so many of Britains leaders need to be Muslim, Hindu, Sikh?

Can't we have some Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Catholics standing for election?

And if these religions are so good for our country.

Why is it their countries are all lawless violent poop-holes?

There are plenty of Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, and Catholics standing in all UK elections.

Oh and Jews too, don’t forget the Jews.

“Just under 6% of MPs gave oaths which indicated they belonged to Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or Sikh religious traditions. This is broadly representative of society as a whole.”

Around 40% of MPs have no religious affiliation which again is broadly aligned with society as a whole.

Never gonna happen!

Farage spouting his usual boll0xs. If he does get in, he would immediately come up with an excuse why such policies are not possible. He is such a narcisitic tvvat, with a total misguided sense of self importance.

Despite me being a center right, or even "extreme right" in the leftists' playbook, I could not vote for any party with him as the leader. Hope Restore or Advance, or a combination of the two, overtake Reform and get in at the next election, even though I do not agree with everything they say, but I won't hold my breath.
