Farage aims for hardline vibes with his mass deportation plan

Reform UK leader cuts loose with far-right anti-immigration rhetoric, but still finds little pushback from Labour or Tories

Halfway into his press conference on Tuesday - during which he announced his party would deport asylum seekers en masse if it entered government - Nigel Farage sounded a note of triumphalism.

One of the most interesting things about this press conference ... is the questions being asked are about the practicalities of individual pieces of implementation," he said. What I notice is there is very little pushback from the media against the idea that we really are in very, very big trouble in this country."
