Reform UK led by Nigel Farage has made significant electoral gains, signaling a downturn for Labour under Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Farage stated, "It is a settled issue. I didn't support it. I thought it was wrong to introduce it to the public without even putting it in a manifesto."
For the last few weeks, letters have been arriving in my office. I was quite surprised to see one from His Majesty's Prison Full Sutton. It says 'I'm a foreign national prisoner. I've been sentenced to 15 years and six months for GBH with intent', which I think means he's a gangster. 'Why won't you deport me? Please get rid of me. You'd save huge amounts of money.'
Farage said that "most of us think that ethnic minority groups are policed entirely differently to that of white British people," which was witnessed by the British public during the Black Lives Matter protests.
