Confirmation that a Reform UK government would mean Ice-style mass roundups and deportations. In fact, in one way the Reform plan would go further than Trump, in retrospectively stripping rights from people granted asylum as long as five years ago and tracking them down for removal.
 Farage pledges to shut down asylum system

Reform to declare a ‘national security emergency’ and deport 90,000 migrants immediately Nigel Farage has pledged to impose a five-year ban on migrants being granted asylum and to deport 90,000 applicants immediately.

In his most stringent border policy to date, the Reform UK leader will declare a “national security emergency” and announce a suspension of all asylum tribunals, legal refugee routes and resettlement schemes.

The policy, which Mr Farage will announce on Monday, would mean tens of thousands of applicants would be immediately deported and any refugees granted asylum in the last five years would have their cases reviewed by the Home Office.

Anyone know why a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited a fortune from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited his money from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is so strongly opposed to inheritance tax?

I am fecking angry 😡. When anybody reads/repeats "the arrival of a small boat carrying migrants" in Portsmouth - there's something to remember. The "small boat" ... was an RNLI lifeboat. It had rescued real, live children, women and men from the sea, from possible/probable drowning and death.

If you vote Reform then I'm going to assume you think this is acceptable behaviour and condone it. If you don't then vote for another party that isn't full of racists and women beaters. It's that simple.
