Nigel Farage raised fears yesterday of Britain descending into 'disorder on a huge scale' as he stood by his plans for 'mass deportation' of asylum seekers.
The Reform UK leader warned of 'much, much deeper' unrest than the 1990 poll tax riots if his radical blueprint to combat illegal immigration was not implemented.
But he faced a furious response, with Labour accusing him of 'another pie in the sky policy' while the Tories said he was 'recycling' their own ideas.
This week, Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch will seek to regain the initiative on the small-boats crisis by hosting a meeting of Tory councillors to help them challenge asylum hotels in their areas.
Speaking after last week's successful legal challenge by a Tory-run council in Epping, Essex, to block asylum seekers from lodging at a local hotel, Ms Badenoch will say she is 'determined to give other excellent Conservative councillors the tools they need to take on this incompetent Labour government'.
