Episode description

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unveiled a radical mass deportation plan, pledging to remove up to 600,000 migrants in his first term if he wins the next general election. 


Speaking at an Oxfordshire aircraft hangar, Farage called illegal migration a “national emergency” and has promised to take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act, and suspend the Refugee Convention for five years as the number of channel crossings rise. 


Camilla was at the event to hear the announcement and speaks to Deputy Leader Richard Tice and Kent County Council Leader Linden Kemkaran about the party’s hardline immigration plans and why Farage has warned of a “genuine threat to public order” if politicians fail to act.
