Farage’s migrant policies lack substance, says minister
- A Home Office minister, Lord Hanson, has criticised Nigel Farage's asylum plans, saying he made them up “on the back of a fag packet” and they lack substance.
- Appearing on NewsNight, Lord Hanson said that the Reform UK leader's proposals to deport 600,000 asylum seekers are not deliverable.
- Mr Farage's proposals also involve increasing the detention capacity for asylum seekers to 24,000.
- He has said he will also secure return deals with countries such as Afghanistan, Eritrea, and Iran.
