Nigel Farage has unveiled a £10billion 'mass deportation' plan that would see five migrant flights leave the UK every day if Reform take power.

The party leader said the five year plan, called Operation Restoring Justice, would lead to hundreds of thousands of deportations, while also barring small boat migrants from claiming asylum in the UK.

They would be held in detention centres on 'surplus' RAF bases while awaiting deportation, with the Government also being required to build detention centres capable of holding 24,000 people within 18 months.

Mr Farage would also seek to introduce criminal offences for people who attempt to return to the UK after being deported or destroy their identity documents.

He pledged to explore deals with 'third countries' such as Rwanda and Albania to house asylum seekers after they are deported, while British overseas territories such as Ascension Island would be used as a 'fallback' option.
