After six months of planning, Reform's immigration policy is as clear as mud

Nigel Farage has been announcing details of Reform's immigration plan this week, but the issue of women and girls has proved a stumbling b

Reform's plan was meant to be detailed. Instead, there's more confusion.

The party had grown weary of the longstanding criticism that their tough talk on immigration did not come with a full proposal for what they would do to tackle small boats if they came to power.

So, after six months of planning, yesterday they attempted to put flesh on the bones of their flagship policy.

At an expensive press conference in a vast air hanger in Oxford, the headline news was clear: Reform UK would deport anyone who comes here by small boat, arresting, detaining and then deporting up to 600,000 people in the first five years of governing.

They would leave international treaties and repeal the Human Rights Act to do it

But, one day later, that policy is clear as mud when it comes to who this would apply to.

I asked Farage at the time of the announcement whether this would apply to women and girls - an important question - as the basis for their extreme policy seemed to hinge on the safety of women and girls in the UK.

He was unequivocal: "Yes, women and children, everybody on arrival will be detained.

"And I've accepted already that how we deal with children is a much more complicated and difficult issue."

But a day later, he appeared to row back on this stance at a press conference in Scotland, saying Reform is "not even discussing women and children at this stage".

He later clarified that if a single woman came by boat, then they could fall under the policy, but if "a woman comes with children, we will work out the best thing to do".

A third clarification in the space of 24 hours on a flagship policy they worked on over six months seems like a pretty big gaffe, and it only feeds into the Labour criticism that these plans aren't yet credible.

If they had hoped to pivot from rhetoric to rigour, this announcement showed serious pitfalls.

Net migration fell sharply in 2024, to 494,000. That was 52% lower than its peak under the Tories.

mostly due to the reduction in work and study visas, (i.e. the type of immigration that benefits the country, whilst the arrival of thousands of unwelcome and undocumented 3rd world parasitic dross increases at an alarming rate occupying housing, hospital beds and hotels all paid for by the taxpayer with funds that would be better off helping uk citizens needing benefit and healthcare) there was also an increase in emigration, of both those whose visas had expired post pandemic, and of disgruntled brits leaving the socialist shithole that the uk is fast becoming.


Starmer faces growing Labour backlash over ECHR

Senior party figures call for reform of convention, which is being ‘misused’ to prevent deportation of illegal migrants

Charles Hymas
Home Affairs Editor



Jo White, the leader of the Red Wall caucus of more than 40 Labour MPs, called for a review after Jack Straw urged Sir Keir to “decouple” Britain from the ECHR and Lord Blunkett called for its suspension.

The treaty has been exploited by thousands of illegal migrants to avoid deportation and stay in the UK.

Their interventions come after Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, said on Tuesday that he would tear up the treaty in order to deport 600,000 illegal migrants if he became prime minister.

In contrast, Sir Keir has pledged that he will never withdraw from the ECHR and will treat international law with “profound respect”.

Ms White, the MP for Bassetlaw, said: “I strongly believe that the ECHR has had its time. It was established over 60 years ago, and it is time for a review.”

She said any overhaul of the convention should be conducted with other signatories so that it would continue to be used to protect migrants in the UK.

Ms White backed the Government in targeting article eight rights to a family life – widely used in the record number of appeals by rejected asylum seekers against removals – which, she said, needed to be “looked at and challenged”.

She urged the Government to overhaul the system so that asylum seekers’ claims were processed in their own countries to prevent their exploitation by people-smuggling gangs as they sought to reach the UK.

Her comments came after Mr Straw, the former Labour home secretary, went further in calling for Sir Keir to “decouple” British laws from the ECHR so that the Home Office could deport more migrants.

Mr Straw, who helped draft the UK’s 1998 Human Rights Act (HRA), said this legislation was being “misused” by UK courts in a way that was preventing the Government from deporting illegal migrants and foreign criminals.

He said the HRA stated that British courts should “take account” of judgments from the ECHR, but instead they were interpreting this as “following” the treaty, which was never the intention.

“There is no doubt at all that the convention – and crucially its interpretation – is now being used in ways which were never, ever intended when the instrument was drafted in the late 40s and early 50s,” he said.

He suggested the HRA could be amended to state that British courts do not have to take account of the ECHR, saying this would be a better option than withdrawing altogether, which would take many years.


Mr Straw told the Financial Times that the migration crisis faced by Sir Keir was worse than the one New Labour experienced, when Sangatte on the north French coast became the site of a huge camp for migrants in the late 1990s and lorries were a favoured method for sneaking into the UK.

“The situation is more serious than the one I faced in the late 90s and early noughties,” he said. “We had a high level of popular support, there was no Reform party and the Tories were flat on their back.”

Mr Straw is the second Labour grandee to put pressure on Sir Keir over the treaty after Lord Blunkett, a former home secretary, urged him to suspend the ECHR to enable the deportation of thousands of rejected asylum seekers housed in hotels.

Speaking last Friday, he urged ministers to consider the “radical” approach in order to give them time to “get a grip” on the crisis, amid a growing backlash over the use of some 200 hotels to house more than 32,000 asylum seekers.

Labour backbenchers have also called for reform. Graham Stringer, a Labour MP since 1997 and former Manchester city council leader, said the ECHR was “no longer fit for purpose”. “We either need to withdraw from [the ECHR] completely or for a period of time,” he said.

Jonathan Brash, the Labour MP for Hartlepool, said that if Sir Keir’s current measures did not stop the boats, “then we must go further and faster including declaring a national emergency if necessary and closing our country to all asylum claims except for unaccompanied children”.

Downing Street, however, said suspending the ECHR was “not something we are looking at”. Sir Keir’s official spokesman said on Wednesday that the ECHR “underpins key international agreements on trade, security, migration and the Good Friday agreement”.

“Anyone who is proposing to renegotiate the Good Friday agreement is not serious,” he added. The spokesman endorsed comments by Matthew Pennycook, a housing minister, that leaving the ECHR would align Britain with Russia and Belarus.

However, Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, is drawing up plans to re-write laws to limit the scope for judges to use Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR to block the Home Office’s removal of failed asylum seekers and foreign criminals. The articles protect rights to a family life and against persecution.

But Labour’s opponents are going further, with Mr Farage on Tuesday committing his Reform party to leaving the ECHR. Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, is expected to make a similar commitment at her autumn conference after ordering a review into how the UK could quit the ECHR if necessary.

Police chief attacks Reform UK promise to scrap equality policies as ‘ludicrous’ | England | The Guardian

Police chief attacks Reform UK promise to scrap equality policies as ‘ludicrous’
Merseyside chief constable, who is retiring, also dismisses claims asylum seekers are to blame for a crime wave


The Reform party’s promise to abolish policies on equality and diversity is “ludicrous” and threatens to take policing and society backwards, one of the country’s most senior chief constables has said.

Serena Kennedy retires on Sunday as the chief constable of Merseyside police, after a tumultuous four years in charge.


She led its response to the Southport dance class murders last year, the riots that followed and led the way on giving ethnicity and nationality details of suspects, to counter disinformation.

In a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian, Kennedy said the riots in Southport started with “carloads” of people arriving to attack a mosque, and dismissed claims that asylum seekers were to blame for a crime wave.

She also called for a new national scheme to counter violence, and criticised politicians including the Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, for making questionable statements at times of heightened tension, such as immediately after last summer’s Southport riot.

Reform UK, which recently won local councils and is predicted to win more in elections next May, is vowing to scrap what it calls DEI initiatives – the term used by Donald Trump supporters – on diversity, equity and inclusion.

Kennedy said: “I have a real nervousness that we are going backwards in relation to diversity and equality.”


She said those groups with less confidence in policing and other public services, such as ethnic minorities and women, needed efforts by key institutions such as the police to win their trust back.

Kennedy said: “Is it acceptable for policing and the public sector to stop worrying about those people where there is a confidence gap and say, well that’s just tough, and we’ll let that confidence gap get even wider? … Absolutely not. That’s why the diversity and equality and inclusion strategies and the focus on it are so important.

“Because the lines that are being trotted out around ‘we should treat everybody equally’ – yeah, we should. Everybody should experience the same quality of service from policing or the public sector, but unfortunately they don’t.

“And to level up that confidence gap, that difference in service, you have to have some dedicated resources to do that, both inside the organisation, focusing internally on your culture, and externally.


“To say that you can … lessen that confidence gap, to say that you can make sure that everybody is experiencing the same quality of service without some dedicated resources to do it is just ludicrous.”

Kennedy’s retirement from policing, leaves her free to voice not just her concerns, but also those of other senior figures concerned by intense attacks on policing by rightwing political figures.

She said political attacks on diversity and inclusion, and groups targeting asylum hotels, were causing problems on the streets and for her workforce, leaving some people frightened: “Seeing the disorder that’s out on the streets, some of the narrative coming out around immigration status, colour of your skin, it must be really frightening out there, in our communities, but also for our own workforce.

“So I do think we’re on a bit of a tipping point at this moment, and I think we need to work really hard not to go backwards.”


The toughest challenge in her four years as chief was the July 2024 murder of three schoolgirls, Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, after a man burst into a Southport dance class and stabbed several children.

The next day a vigil to commemorate those murdered was soon followed in the Merseyside town by riots that spread across the country and were the worst in more than a decade.

Kennedy said there was a far-right and organised element. “The officers on the ground report that there was carfuls of people turning up and being dropped off … There was an element of organisation for that. So those numbers swelled very quickly … Within 25 minutes of the vigil ending, the first missiles were thrown at the mosque.”

Kennedy said claims those taking to the street were typical of white working-class anger were contradicted by the fact that white working-class people turned out in greater numbers to repair the attacked mosque and clear up.


In the aftermath of the murders there was a rapid and deliberate spread of false information, designed to whip up trouble, falsely claiming the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker. Kennedy and her force took the unusual step on the evening of the atrocity of releasing the information that the suspect was British-born.

The chief constable said she doubted that a quicker release of information would have defused tensions that led to the riots.

She pointed to this May’s incident where a car went into crowds celebrating Liverpool FC’s Premier League title victory. The incident in Liverpool city centre led to fears of a terrorist attack, which it was not, but also a rapid and determined spread of lies online.

Kennedy recalled how her force released ethnicity details of a man it had arrested, but, she said: “Even when we put out that this was a white, British-born local person … because what we’d put out didn’t suit the narrative that they wanted to swell in terms of that negativity, people carried on with that misinformation.”


She said she was annoyed by politicians such as Farage, who in the aftermath of the Southport riot said the authorities might be wrongly hiding key details from the public. She said: “I was really frustrated that national politicians were making some of the statements that they were making … because of the impact that it was having in terms of trust and confidence in policing. And it wasn’t in my view based on fact, it was based on what was being said on social media.”

Kennedy said claims of two-tier policing were “a ludicrous statement”, and added: “Some of the statements being said by national politicians are having an impact on what is playing out on our streets and what policing, communities and partners are being left to deal with.”

She dismissed claims of asylum seekers being more likely to commit crime and said: “I’m not seeing anything out of kilter … It’s just, it’s more newsworthy.”

Revealed: Epping hotel judge ran socialist think tank linked to Labour
Lord Justice Bean, who has ruled migrants can stay at Essex site, is former chair of Fabian Society

29 August 2025 4:11pm BST

A judge who ruled migrants can stay in an Essex hotel was the chairman of a prominent socialist think tank.

On Friday, Lord Justice Bean and two other Court of Appeal judges ruled that an injunction banning the Bell Hotel from housing asylum seekers should be overturned.

The ruling was a legal victory for the Home Office and has prevented the Government’s asylum policy from being plunged into chaos.

The son of High Court judge Sir George Bean, the Cambridge-educated Lord Justice Bean was chair of the 141-year-old Fabian Society from 1989-90.

The society works very closely with Labour, is an affiliated party organisation and its membership is predominantly made up of Labour members. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, also previously served as chair of its commission.

Lord Justice Bean, 71, was also reportedly a member of the Labour Party for at least 28 years before he became a judge.

He served as a treasurer for the Society of Labour Lawyers, which describes itself as a “think tank and affiliated socialist society which provides legal and policy advice to the Labour Party”.

Edited radical legal publication
Lord Justice Bean also edited a manifesto published by the society ahead of Tony Blair’s 1997 general election win.

The publication, titled Law Reform for All, had contributors including then-Labour MPs Jack Straw and Keith Vaz and encouraged the Labour Party to introduce “radical” legal reforms.

Another pamphlet edited by Lord Justice Bean ahead of the 2005 general election included chapters on topics including incorporating the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) into British law and establishing the Equalities Act.

The pamphlet also covered issues such as environmental rights and the strengthening of freedom of expression laws, according to the Society of Labour Lawyers.

The judge was a founding member of Matrix Chambers, alongside Sir Tony Blair’s wife Cherie, when it was set up in 2000. Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, also practised there.

Another Matrix alumnus is Phillipe Sands, the lawyer who represented Mauritius in the legal battle for the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands.

Lord Justice Bean also served as the chairman of the Law Commission from 2015 to 2018.

Recently, he presided over a legal case against the Department of Health over its policy of discharging patients from hospital into care homes.

He, along with Mr Justice Garnham, ruled that the policies from March and April 2020 were unlawful as they did not take into account the risk that Covid posed to elderly and vulnerable care home residents.

Trailblazer also on appeal panel
Sitting on the Court of Appeal panel alongside him was Lady Justice Nicola Davies, who is seen as a trailblazing woman in the legal profession.

Her accolades include being the first Welsh female Appeal Court judge and she has held the role of senior co-liaison judge for diversity.

She also became the first female chancellor of Aberystwyth University in January.

The third panellist, Lord Justice Cobb, has sat in the Court of Appeal only since July 1, having originally been appointed in June 2024.

The Court of Appeal judge was a specialist in family law and has also sat in the Court of Protection.

Lord Justice Cobb gave a lecture last year on the importance of open justice. He argued that transparency in the legal system “[holds] the judges to account for the decisions they make”.

He said that the justice system “needs to create relationships of confidence with the society it serves; confidence is imperilled where processes are opaque, or worse still, unseen”.
THE TELEGRAPH

There hasn't been such a thing as an impartial judiciary in 2 decades.....

This really is desperate even by right wing standards.

Just desperate obfuscation from how the tories royally fvcked the country.

No wonde rhe wanted to become titled Justice, living in UK as Mr Bean must have had more ribbing than a clinker tender.

Construct a sentence of 10+ words in English without using AI or c&p, Chitty.

You can do it!

Suu! Suu!

Or just post complete and utter drivel for 25 years, like Dave.

That would be more honest.
