UK’s Farage sets out plan for ‘mass deportation’ of asylum seekers

Former Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage announced plans for “mass deportations” of migrants crossing the English Channel if his Reform UK party gains power, proposing withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights and repatriation agreements with countries like Afghanistan and Eritrea. He aims to eliminate asylum rights for small boat arrivals, create holding facilities for 24,000 migrants, and operate multiple deportation flights daily, citing public safety concerns and rising immigration as a national emergency.
