Reform Would Create ICE-style Agency and End Leave to Remain, Zia Yusuf to Say

THE GUARDIAN: Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

Reform UK would create an ICE-style agency dedicated to deporting hundreds of thousands of people, as well as terminating the status of those with indefinite leave to remain (ILR), the party will say.

It would also ban the conversion of churches into mosques and fund a radical expansion of stop and search, the party’s new home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, will also say in a speech on Monday. The deradicalisation programme Prevent would also have its mandate redrawn to focus on Islamist extremism.

Labour said the plans were divisive and showed that Reform was planning “to deport people who have followed the rules, worked hard and built their lives here – our friends, neighbours and colleagues”.

The Labour party’s chair, Anna Turley, said the policies were “a direct attack on settled families and fundamentally un-British”. She added: “Britain is a proud, tolerant and diverse nation, which stands in opposition to the kind of divisive politics stoked by Reform.” » | Jessica Elgot | Sunday, February 22, 2026

Reform UK Plan to Rip Up Equality Act Shocking and Un-British, Says Starmer

THE GUARDIAN: PM argues party wants to send women back to ‘old days’, as he also urges Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to speak to authorities

Reform UK’s plans to repeal the Equalities Act is “shocking” and unBritish, Keir Starmer has said, warning legislation that has provided decades of protection for women would be ripped up.

In a pre-recorded interview with BBC Breakfast, the prime minister said the legislation was British at its core and represented “basic values”, before arguing Reform wanted to send women back to the “old days” when they were not treated equally.

In a wide-ranging discussion, Starmer also said Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should speak to the authorities in the UK and US about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and defended the government’s recent U-turn on postponing local elections.

Asked by the presenter, Naga Munchetty, about Reform’s plans to repeal the Equalities Act, Starmer said: “Can I just say how shocking it is that Reform are suggesting we tear up the Equalities Act. » | Jamie Grierson | Thursday, February 19, 2026

Michael Lambert: Why No Leader Can Fix Britain’s Current Course

Feb 7, 2026 | In this video I reflect on recent events in British politics from a very different perspective — speaking from Bangkok and watching the UK from afar.

I discuss the latest defections to Reform UK, why Nigel Farage still represents a political cul-de-sac rather than a governing future, and what these shifts say about the Conservative Party’s decline.

I also look at Keir Starmer’s trip to China, the reality behind the so-called “sophisticated relationship”, and the uncomfortable truth about Britain trying to negotiate alone in a world dominated by large trade blocs.

Along the way I touch on Peter Mandelson, Labour’s leadership dilemma, Andy Burnham, Davos and the wider question of whether Brexit has left Britain trying to play a role in the world that no longer exists.

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman Defects to Reform UK

THE GUARDIAN: Braverman becomes third sitting Conservative MP to join Nigel Farage’s party in little more than a week

Suella Braverman has defected to Reform, the third sitting Conservative MP to join Nigel Farage’s party in little more than a week.

Arriving as a surprise speaker at a Reform event in London, Braverman, who has been an MP since 2015 and served as home secretary under Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, said: “Today am announcing that I resign the Conservative whip. I have resigned the Conservative whip and my party membership of 30 years because I believe with my heart and soul that a better future is possible for us.”

She added: “I feel like I have come home.” » | Ben Quinn, Peter Walker and Priya Bharadia | Monday, January 26, 2026

What Would a Reform Government Mean for Britain?

Nov 29, 2025 | If polls are to be believed, Nigel Farage will be the next Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Britain will have a Reform UK government. In this video, I argue that this government will pursue a Thatcherite agenda that doubles down on the economic and political status-quo that has ruled Britain for a generation. Hence, Nigel Farage is not an anti-establishment figure, he is a fugue of establishment that will defend their interests and not ours.

Lord Heseltine Pressed on Reform "Equivalents to the Fascists in the 30s" Comments

Oct 9, 2025 | Victoria Derbyshire speaks to Tory grandee Lord Heseltine about comments he made at Conservative Party Conference where he described Reform UK "and other parties across Europe today as among the right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s."

A Reform UK spokesperson said: “92-year-old Lord Heseltine is out of touch and deeply offensive to millions of voters.”


A Tory grandee who speaks oodles of common sense. But then he would, wouldn’t he? He’s a Welshman! 😊 This gentleman should have become prime minister. Had it not been for Thatcher, he most probably would have become prime minster. Unfortunately, Thatcher loathed him. And I presume that the feeling was mutual. — © Mark Alexander

Keir Starmer promet d’«affronter» le parti de Nigel Farage au Royaume-Uni, avant un congrès travailliste à haut risque

LE FIGARO : Le parti anti-immigration de Nigel Farage, Reform UK, poursuit son ascension dans les sondages, alors que le premier ministre accumule les déboires politiques.

Les travaillistes britanniques commencent à se réunir dimanche à Liverpool pour un congrès annuel à haut risque pour le premier ministre Keir Starmer, de plus en plus contesté dans son camp, qui tentera de convaincre qu’il est capable de mener le «combat» contre le parti anti-immigration de Nigel Farage. Quinze mois seulement après son arrivée au pouvoir, le chef du gouvernement accumule les déboires. L’économie est au ralenti, le chômage à son plus haut en quatre ans, l’immigration illégale bat des records, l’inflation reste plus élevée qu’ailleurs en Europe.

En parallèle, le parti de Nigel Farage, Reform UK, poursuit son ascension dans les sondages, capitalisant sur le rejet de l’immigration d’une partie des Britanniques. «Nous avons devant nous le combat de notre vie, nous devons affronter Reform, nous devons les battre», a martelé Keir Starmer dimanche dans une interview à la BBC. «Ils veulent déchirer ce pays», a-t-il ajouté, jugeant «raciste» et «immoral» leur projet d’obliger les migrants non-européens régularisés à refaire une demande à des conditions plus strictes. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | dimanche 28 septembre 2025

Doctor Uses Reform Conference Speech to Link King’s Cancer to Covid Vaccine

THE GUARDIAN: Aseem Malhotra claimed ‘eminent oncologist’ said jab was ‘significant factor in the cancer of members of royal family’

A controversial doctor given top billing at the Reform party conference has used his main-stage speech to air a claim the Covid vaccine caused cancer in the royal family.

The speech by Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who was appointed as a senior adviser to the US health secretary and vaccine sceptic Robert F Kennedy, drew sharp intakes of breath in the Birmingham auditorium where he was handed a prime speaking slot.

After setting out what he said were findings showing that vaccines “created havoc” in the human body, Malhotra said he had been asked to share something by a doctor who he described as one of Britain’s most eminent oncologists.

“He thinks it’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a factor, a significant factor in the cancer of members of the royal family,” said Malhotra, who had previously said: “This isn’t just his opinion many other doctors feel the same way.”

The remarks drew immediate condemnation from the health secretary, Wes Streeting, and others.

“When we are seeing falling numbers of parents getting their children vaccinated, and a resurgence of disease we had previously eradicated, it is shockingly irresponsible for Nigel Farage to give a platform to these poisonous lies,” said Streeting.

“Farage should apologise and sever all ties with this dangerous extremism.” » | Ben Quinn | Saturday, September 6, 2025

Truth To Power: Fascism at Our Door: Reform UK's HIDDEN Agenda

Michael Lambert: Why the UK Economy Will Collapse without Immigrants

Aug 30, 2025 | The UK economy is not doing well. The much-needed growth is not happening and the national debt is almost 100% of GDP whilst interest amounts to £116 billion per annum or over £2 billion per week. We know that taxes will have to rise in the forthcoming budget.

The UK has an ageing population who are living longer and costing more in terms of care and medical treatment. To maintain our current population level we need a birth rate of 2.1 children per woman whereas the current rate is just 1.4. This means that the proportion of the population who are earning is diminishing and so is taxable income. This can only be solved by immigration.

However, Nigel Farage the man who brought us the disastrous Brexit, and his party, Reform UK have been pursuing a very public anti-immigration campaign. At the same time, the government under Keir Starmer have made it almost impossible for anyone to come to the UK to work unless they first secure employment at a rate of at least £37,000 per annum.

Without a larger workforce expanding the tax-take for the government, it is difficult to see how the UK will survive financially.

For the time being, Farage leads an ever-growing anti-immigration policy which both Starmer and the Conservatives have decided to follow.

At the start of this video, I discuss last week's cabinet meeting in the White House which was little more than an event to boost the ego of Donald Trump who ranted about how good he is for 45 minutes before being praised by most of his Secretaries of State. Steve Witkoff, who features in this video, was exceptionally embarrassing in lavishing praise upon the president.

Lee Anderson’s Constituents Stunned When They’re Told about Reform’s NHS Plans

THE LONDON ECONOMIC: "I thought the Reform party were more on our side."

Lee Anderson’s constituents have been left stunned after being told about Reform UK’s plans for the NHS.

Whilst Reform may be experiencing a surge in the polls, one issue they can’t seem to shake off their backs is the fact their leader, Nigel Farage, has previously called for the NHS to move towards an insurance-based system.

Reform’s Anderson was re-elected as MP for Ashfield last July, but it turns out a fair few of his constituents aren’t quite aware of his leader’s views.

So, the Trades Union Congress decided to head to Ashfield to open their eyes to what Farage has said in the past about the NHS. » | Charlie Herbert | Wednesday, July 27, 2025
