Nigel Farage has faced criticism for not offering concrete proposals on how he would deal with the small boat and asylum seeker issue that is currently gripping our politics.
Responding to Farage’s speech, the prime minister’s official spokesman said the PM "understands and shares the frustration people feel about levels of illegal migration."
The Conservatives accused Reform UK of recycling Tory plans to tackle immigration: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said.
Liberal Democrat spokesperson Daisy Cooper said: “Of course Nigel Farage wants to follow his idol Vladimir Putin in ripping up the human rights convention.
"Winston Churchill would be turning in his grave. Doing so would only make it harder for each of us as individuals to hold the government to account and stop it trampling on our freedoms.”
