00:00A big day for Reform UK in Dover as the party set out to live up to their namesake by
00:06pledging
00:06to overhaul the country's immigration road map.
00:09Now it might seem desolate this morning at Dover but behind me is the Dover Marina Hotel
00:14and Spa where Reform's Home Secretary Azir Youssef has laid out the first steps to their
00:19reimagining of the UK's immigration policy.
00:33It is highly appropriate that we are here in Dover.
00:38And here are the key takeaways.
00:41Farage's party wants to create a UK deportation command which is promised to detain 24,000
00:47illegal migrants.
00:48You might as well put a sign on the White Cliffs of Dover saying come on in, everybody
00:52welcome.
00:53And I predicted that there would be an invasion.
00:57His plan includes leaving the European Convention on Human Rights before introducing legislation
01:03that would force the Home Secretary to deport up to 288,000 illegal migrants without intervention
01:10from judges each year.
01:12...and the solutions we're offering to Azir.
01:25Thank you very much Nigel and good morning.
01:28Youssef, a Muslim, announced new rules to prevent churches from being converted into mosques
01:33or other places of worship and was highly critical of Boris Johnson's migration policies.
01:39He pledged to scrap the indefinite Leave to Remain visa, terminate Universal Credit welfare
01:45payments to foreign nationals and freeze visas for countries that refuse to take back to ported nationals.
01:52Now these policies would only come into effect in a possible future where reform to be elected
01:57into government.
01:59But here in Kent, with England's largest county council already painted light blue.
02:04This could be the green light towards harsher policies against those who weren't born in Britain.
