Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

Today we announce a new policy:

In order to deport all illegal migrants in
Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of
thousands at a time.

Migrants will not be able to leave these
detention centres, and each will be held
there a couple of weeks before being
deported.

So here's our promise:

A Reform government will not put any
migrant detention facilities in any
constituency with a Reform MP.

Nor will we put them where Reform
controls the council.

And of the remaining areas, we will
prioritise Green controlled parliamentary
constituencies and Green controlled
councils to locate the detention centres.

Put simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee y

Put simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee you
won't have a detention centre near you

If you vote Green, there's a good chance
you will,

This is an important exercise in
democratic consent, not just for our
mass deportation policy, but for where
the detention centres are placed

Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates
for open borders, I look forward to their
warm embrace of this policy

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
