Farage vows to deport small boat migrants who were granted asylum
Nigel Farage says the party would review all asylum grants from the past five years and remove status from about 400,000 people.
- Nigel Farage announced Reform would deport as many as 400,000 asylum seekers who entered Britain illegally, committing to review all asylum decisions made over the past five years.

- Reform would establish a Deportation Command to detain and remove those refusing to leave voluntarily, affecting 400,000 individuals on top of 600,000 unsuccessful asylum applicants already targeted.

- Data from last year shows roughly 41 per cent of more than 100,000 asylum applications arrived on small boats, while approximately 39 per cent came via visas and 11 per cent hidden in lorries.
