£15bn on hotels?

Has Farage actually said how he will stop the boats?

No.

How does any gov actually stop it? And how much will it cost?

I did initially think your post was sarcasm I admit but since it’s not I don’t think housing in barracks will change much in terms of attractiveness. A shorter time waiting but still with accommodation, healthcare and schooling if needed is much more than a camp elsewhere.

The government seems to have a history of struggling to write contracts that their contractors are not able to walk all over and make lots of money.

Lack of legal/commercial experience compared with the contractors?

Old contractural adage, time? cost? quality? you cant have all 3...

Maybe every Labour voter who wants the population increase should be forced to let a aslyum seeker have a bed in their house.

Barracks or Nissen huts Keep them contained. That will reduce the attraction of UK.
Denmark solved their problem. We could solve ours.
@EasternStandard Why wont it work?

Labour are looking at barracks. That won’t help either.

Send them back if they have in fact come from a safe country France.

Could we not keep them in camps of dormitories behind barbed wire fences. Feed them on chick peas and chicken.900Calories a day. Give them the raw food, they cook it for themselves. It would keep them busy.

Labour hiking taxes twice so far..... Plus they have borrowed against future growth, which they then stopped, so it won't be the end of it, There will be more in 2026, and 2027 when the gambling fails

We'll we only have a few weeks before we find out how much worse this government is going to make our lives in their next round of record breaking tax rises. I'd rather give Reform a go than this bunch. Farage may not have given a fully funded plan for the election in three years but Reeves hasn't given a fully funded plan for her "budget" in three weeks. I think she just has one of those wheel of fortune things in her office and night before she will use it to choose between VAT, Income Tax or NI.

Has Farage actually said how he will stop the boats? I know he's said it will be better when we leave ECHR but actually only 14 deportations have been prevented by using that. Definitely not worth giving up Human Rights for.
So what is the plan then? A barricade across the Channel, the Navy shooting at dinghies, these are not my suggestions obviously but I have seen them made by rabid reform supporters.

Labour hiking taxes, even though they said they wouldn’t pre GE, won’t help.

This is about the price of contracts negotiated by our politicians ..not about money spent on vulnerable people….its another version of the PPE contracts …money to huge corporations …that’s the issue

The reason Labour are keen on immigration is that those are all people to pick up the slack in the economy enabling them to keep their voters at home on the benefits drip. God forbid that they have to tackle the problem of getting people into work.

It's not bullshit though is it. He's been vocal about going to an insurance based nhs. He's spoken at rallies that promote anti abortion views.

He's promised tax cuts that are completely unfunded. Much like Truss did. Do you remember what that did to the economy.

You might like him cos of his anti immigration rhetoric, but government is way more than managing immigration. And from what he has said, it'll be disastrous for the UK

He's is not going to make your life any better at all.

Absolute Bullshit. All the traditional parties have left now is to play the "change is too scary for you" card. It might help if Labour weren't driving the economy over a cliff, whilst misdirecting us to look at "the scary" thing in the distance.

Half a million net immigration a year under Labour adding the city the size of Leeds to the population each year.

Yippeee

Bye bye NHS, worker's protection, environmental standards, maternity pay, abortion rights etc

Farage is the face of disaster capitalism. His billionaire backers will strip this country of anything of value, all while being cheered on by those who's lives he is damaging.

He'll be an absolute catastrophe

It is definitely time for Reform.

You ask the same ones on every thread then forget. Why is that?

Boris was certainly at fault for setting up the system in this way. But Starmer could have changed it by now and should be showing us how he will end it.
He isn't though is he? He just stands around and wrings his hands and listens to his bestie Hermer.
Do the maths! That £15Bn + The Chagos money and Rachel would not need to hit us with another budget.
With his majority he could get anything through HOC in a week. A bit of pressure and HoL would comply as well.

It makes me sick when RR picks in the disabled and elderly just so KS can throw money at illegals, especially the ones who have committed crimes which are often sexual in nature and hate the UK and British girls

I don't disagree, @caringcarer, but all governments fling wasted money at the demographic they favour, whether that's asylum seekers with this bunch or cronies with the previous one, so really it's pick your poison

And I guess this wasn't the best day to have received my 2024/25 tax assessment (!!) but at least it's a bit more for Rachel to throw away ...

In the last 15 years, the Tories have been in power for 14 of them

Just because Reform hasn't ever been in power it doesn't mean they'll be any good.

You haven't really but then I remember you do not like to answer questions.

I have countered it read the pp.

Re not doing it so far the public are behind Aus and seem to think chaotic and risky asylum system is necessary. It’s not.
