London (AP) – British leader Nigel Farage Right and Right Reform British PartyOn Tuesday, he said if he wins the next election, he will leave the European Human Rights Treaty and immediately detain and deport anyone illegally arriving in the country, including children.
Farage laid out his plans following a massive increase in immigrants who arrived by boat across the English Channel. Several weeks of protest The government will use hotels to accommodate asylum seekers.
“If you come to the UK illegally, you will be detained, deported and never allowed to stay,” Farage told a news conference.

He states, “How we deal with children is much more complicated.”
It holds only four of the 650 seats in the House of Representatives. Farage The party has gained momentum by robbing public frustration over successive governments’ inability to defeat the number of immigrants coming by boat. National polls suggest that support for reform is equal to or exceeds that of the ruling Labour and the Conservatives.
The next national election is scheduled for 2029.
Farage, who has long tried to link issues such as public health and housing with the arrival of migrants, has reiterated his stance that Britain is being “invaded” by immigrants. He said that over the first five years of his time in government, he would introduce policies to expel hundreds of thousands of people on a large scale.
The reforms will leave the ECHR and abolish or “disapprove” all other treaties of rights, prohibiting all asylum claims and ensuring that migrants arriving without permission are deported, he added. Farage said it would expand the capacity of detention facilities and secure deals with countries including Afghanistan, Eritrea and Iran to return migrants, Farage said without providing details.
Asked about the prospects that asylum seekers could be tortured or killed if sent back to the country they fled, Farage said:
In 2025, approximately 29,000 people crossed the UK channel by boat, an increase of about 50% from the same period last year. On Monday, 659 migrants arrived in the UK by boat.
