Surely a first question journalists should be asking Reform on migration is: "Are you prepared to send innocent people back to torture and death?" Because that's what 'detain and deport' without proper assessment means.

More than that, they should be pointing out that to do so is murder. Not “a breach of international law” or “against the ECHR” or anything sophisticated like that, but good old-fashioned English murder.

Yes. That’s literally what Farage said.
“Farage suggested he was open to striking deals with the Taliban or Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to deport Afghans and Iranians — even if they would face torture or persecution on their return.”

Yes. But their answer will be: "We will send them away to safe third countries like Rwanda then. Like the Tories tried to do. But we will be able to do it because we'll have left the ECHR." ... So everything RefUK promises rests on leaving the ECHR. That's where the main battle will take place.

And Reform should also be challenged on what they would do to fill the gaps that will immediatelythe emerge in workforce supply for critical services such as the NHS.

Farage said it wasn’t the UK’s problem. No soul, no decency.

Why are you following Farage's talking points FFS?
Turn him off, or we turn you off!

Farage would say ‘yes, no problem’ and grin.

Maybe Starmer could ask it?

Sadly I think there’s a large constituency in this nation that are pretty unmoved by that as an argument. Some of the media have done a decent long-term job of turning asylum seekers into “untermensch” in the eyes of the easily manipulated.

Any asylum seeker with sense will know better than come here if Farage gets to be (God forbid) prime minister. There will still be boats in the channel but they'll be heading to France.
-
Yes,they are. Maybe they will not say it loudly, but remember some RUK supporters said they will rather shot the migrants and sink the boats than let them reach our shore.

The heartbreaking part is that the average Reform voter wouldn’t even be listening to the reply, having already shouted ‘yes’ at the TV…
