Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf made a bold statement yesterday, suggesting that radical actions might be necessary to implement a plan similar to Donald Trump’s “deportation force” in the UK. As the party’s spokesperson on home affairs, Yusuf delivered a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC, focusing on the theme of “Saving Britain and Saving the West.” During his visit, he also engaged with politicians from the MAGA group in Congress.
One of Yusuf’s key proposals involves the deportation of hundreds of thousands of legally residing individuals in the UK, a move that would be enforced by a dedicated “deportation force” modeled after the stringent immigration units deployed by Trump in the US.
Yusuf emphasized that Reform’s deportation squads would be highly trained and professional. However, he warned that extreme measures, such as abolishing the House of Lords, could be taken if any resistance was encountered from peers attempting to obstruct the implementation of the deportation plan under a Reform government.
In response to concerns about potential unrest in the country, Yusuf dismissed the idea of provoking a “civil war” in Britain. He acknowledged the likelihood of protests and disruptions but remained resolute in the face of opposition, stating that the party would not be swayed by activists or media critics.
Moreover, Yusuf raised suspicions about foreign funding influencing opposition to Reform’s right-wing agenda, suggesting a covert interference campaign in the Makerfield by-election without providing concrete evidence. This narrative echoed Trump’s baseless accusations regarding anti-ICE protests in Minnesota earlier in the year.
