Nigel Farage will today challenge Keir Starmer to ditch his support for foreign courts as he sets out plans for the mass deportation of illegal migrants.

In a major speech, the Reform UK leader will ask the Prime Minister if he wants to protect Britain's borders and citizens or remain wedded to 'outdated' international treaties and judges' rulings.

Adding to the pressure on the Government to do more to tackle the crisis, amid record Channel crossings and public fury over migrants being housed in luxury hotels, Mr Farage will vow that if he becomes PM, he will ensure that all those arriving in dinghies are arrested, detained then deported.

He will promise to sign returns deals with countries including Afghanistan and Eritrea but also house migrants in 'third countries' such as Rwanda and Albania, and use British overseas territories including Ascension Island as a last resort.

Amid Tory claims that his policies echo their own proposals, Mr Farage will pledge that hundreds of thousands of people will be deported by a Reform government, with five charter flights taking off every day.
