Leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage delivers a speech at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK, on Feb. 9.
Photographer: Darren Staples/BloombergReform UK called levels of immigration a “national emergency” and an “invasion,” employing Donald Trump-style rhetoric that is running into public opposition in the US.
In a policy document on Monday, Nigel Farage’s insurgent right-wing party vowed to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights and pursue “mass deportations” if it wins the next general election.
