Reform UK Plans Mass Deportations and Five-Year Asylum Freeze

Nigel Farage said Oct. 12, 2026, in Kent that if it wins power, a Reform UK government would immediately deport 90,000 asylum seekers. Pending applications — requests for protection — would be cancelled, and new claims rejected automatically during a five-year pause on asylum grants. Children and mothers included. People would be sent home or to another country deemed safe.
