Reform vow to open mass deportation centres across UK in Green constituencies

Zia Yusuf tweeted the plans last night.

Areas that vote in a Reform council or a Reform MP will be guaranteed not to have a centre nearby, so they have said.

The Greens have responded to the plans, describing them as 'abhorrent'.

Zia Yusuf, Reform’s home affairs spokesman, has said people 'will get what they vote for'.

He wrote on social media: "Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.

"Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.

"So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.

"Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will.

"This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given Zack Polanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy."

Naturally, most of the replies to Yusuf's tweet are condemning the policy.

One person wrote: "So “Vote Reform or we’ll punish you”. You’re an absolute joke of a party, it’s embarrassing."

Another wrote: "You do know that @reformparty_uk LTD cannot give permission to build anything in areas they do not control? Idiot."

A third wrote: "Rounding people up and putting them into camps. I've heard that somewhere before."
