  1. Is he trying to get rid of his girlfriend after she bought him a house

  2. Clocks ticking for the left to start having an honest discussion about this.

    This maniac is going to win if we don’t accept we need a sensible counter policy that doesn’t pander to the current system.

  3. Old people voting to deport their own carers.

    Hope they don’t think British people are gonna clean up their shit for £10 an hour…

  5. Why? Surely tackling the 1 million illegals they keep complaining about would make more sense!

  6. All they had to do was limit and properly vet those people coming in to maintainable levels, now we have this lot pulling this shit.

  7. As an EU settled status immigrant, I will be looking forward to the inevitable court battles if these fascists mess with my status.

  10. I hope he doesn’t mind increasing the taxes on rich folks then, because it’s migrants that are paying the shortfall in taxes to meet the care needs of the elderly and retiree pensions…

    And the British workers that ‘could’* do those jobs don’t live near the places that need them done as they don’t get paid enough to live in, or commute to those places

    *A vanishingly small number of British people would do the jobs that migrants do, even if everything was in place for them to do those jobs – this is the same all over the world, only the job specifics change.

  11. A few days ago every reform supporting bot on here was telling me this wasn’t a thing they supported

  12. Yes let’s kick out a huge number of working tax payers because that will help the economy…

  13. Surely we aren’t as fucking stupid as Americans… right?

  16. Skilled workers would go to Dubai overnight. Same situation but with the benefits of zero taxes.

  17. So doing a Trump! How original. What about the other real issues, not heard one thing about NHS, Education, Healthcare, state pension, jobs……

  19. Then what?

    When we’ve deported every individual in this country that can’t trace their heritage back to before 1066 and our economic problems still aren’t fixed, then what.

    Who next? Anyone earning < £xx, deport them. Anyone who doesn’t sing the national anthem at breakfast, deport them.

  20. Yes, because he and his idiot mates want the NHS to collapse, so they can bring in the US System and they can make even more money, whilst laughing at the morons who voted for it.

  21. Farage doesnt care about the social and economic damage that this will cause, that is the feature not the bug.

    In America, migrants, both legal and settled or illegal are critical to the country, they prop up certain industries and therefore the economy, that didnt stop Trump from deporting anyone his gestapo could get their hands on.

    Weakening the country from within is the point, why do you think they also want to weaken reliance on vaccines, weaken renewable energy sources, take us out of climate agreements and question basic accepted facts?

    It isnt to make Britain Great, these things will weaken us, they’re already dividing the left and right to distract us from the real issue which is rich vs poor.

  22. Wonder if Putin will invade us if this comes through, on the grounds of “denazification”

  24. Fantastic idea! He’s putting pressure on labour and getting them to do the dirty work, wait and see labour will announce something soon, the tail wagging the dog springs to mind lol

  25. This is why nobody believes the flag wringers when they proclaim they just worry about the illegal immigrants.

  27. I know that this may not be the right forum to ask, the ridiculousness of the proposal aside and this, if Farrage were to win a general election, could he actually legally pass a legislation that retrospectively scraps already given indefinite leave to remain?

  28. i wonder when he’ll start talking about tariffs

  30. This would cripple the NHS to hell. 20% of the workforce are immigrants and a chunk of those are on the settled status.

  32. Yeah good luck getting that past the Lords you fucking cock

  33. This is a what we want. Get rid of those filthy foreigners and train some slap head Nazis to wipe my Mums arse in her care home.

    /s just incase my moniker wasn’t clear enough.

  34. So to the morons who’ve been on here saying this wouldn’t happen………feelings on this?

  35. Well that’s going to be interesting, I bet Labour has a new announcement soon. But the devil is in the detail, quite possibly Benefit reciplicants or those that are a drain on the system, which would go down well with the electorate. Realistically if they stopped all benefits for 10yrs and I mean everything from housing to UC to disability with the requirements that you need to work legally before receiving them how many would come? Yes skilled works with a basic wage of £45k or exceptions for medical or in demand BA skills but the rest everything stops, how many are going to stay?

  37. They do this, and they lose my partner who is a top 10%er paying all her tax without salary sacrifice and the business I run – I will go with her.

    We both contribute significantly but fuck it if this non-veiled far right policy is voted in with the rest of it, because that’s what the majority want they can have the country and enjoyed it spiralling into more debt and authoritarian rule.

    Can’t believe people can’t see how fascist this is getting.

  38. That ain’t going to sit right with anyone. He literally lost the plot

  39. Next time he leaves to visit his best bud, the Orange Man, can we just revoke his citizenship, so that he can’t get back in. He obviously supports mass deportations so I think he should set an example for us.

  40. Currently watching the press conference and watching Farage making shit up. No specifics when pressed, eg question on his statement that majority of migrants are on benefits. He was asked for info to support what he said. He answered by telling the journalist to ask the British government.

    He has no facts and cannot substantiate what he says. And yet the BBC/Sky etc are covering the press conference live and in full. For a party that has 4 elected MPs. That’s the same number as the Green Party.

  41. Labour pledged to lower energy bills.

    Pledges mean nothing.

    “At the election, Labour pledged to cut energy bills by £300 but Ofgem has just announced a 6.4% increase in the energy price cap from 1 April 2025. This will increase average household energy bills by £111 annually, bringing it to £1,849. ”

  44. You can’t deport those who came here illegally so yeah… Good luck
