Tory Defectors to Reform Could Be Hauled in Front of ‘Boriswave’ Migration Probe
Reform UK said 4.8 million legal migrants arrived from 2021 to 2024 and claimed the wave could cost taxpayers £622 billion.
- On Monday, Reform UK home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf announced plans for a formal inquiry into the 'Boriswave' of post-Brexit migration, signaling that former Conservative ministers could be compelled to testify under oath.
- Citing official figures showing net migration exceeded 2.5 million people between 2021 and 2024, Reform leader Nigel Farage proposed the inquiry to uncover whether the surge was 'sheer incompetence, or was it done willfully.'
- Analysis released on Monday suggests 1.6 million to 2.2 million migrants could receive settled status, resulting in a £622 billion 'lifetime cost' to taxpayers; Yusuf indicated recent defectors Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick would be called as witnesses.
- Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp mocked the plan, questioning when Reform's new converts would 'explain the Suella surge and the Jenrick jump,' while Labour criticized Farage for financial ties to a cryptocurrency firm run by former Conservative chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.
- Influenced by refugee programs and worker shortages, 4.8 million legal migrants arrived in the UK between 2021 and 2024, as Reform continues to build its ranks while positioning itself as a challenger to established parties.
