@Nigel_FarageThis government will not do what it takes to control our borders. Only Reform UK will leave the ECHR and deport illegal migrants. https://t.co/eLNe0ufMHj

The UK government is facing criticism and political pressure over its immigration policies, particularly in light of a recent terror plot involving an Iranian asylum seeker who arrived via small boats. The Conservative Party has proposed repealing the Human Rights Act for immigration cases, a move supported by Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who emphasized the need to protect British children from dangerous criminals.
Reform UK, led by Richard Tice, has called for the complete scrapping of the Human Rights Act and leaving the ECHR, arguing that these measures hinder effective border control. The party claims that only they can end what they describe as 'madness' regarding immigration and small boat crossings, which have seen 4,243 Iranian arrivals this year.
Labour, currently in government, has been accused by opposition parties of failing to control borders and relying on cheap foreign labor. Labour insists it is backing British workers and securing the country's borders, though critics argue their policies lack concrete targets and commitments.
The government's Immigration White Paper suggests legislative changes to clarify Article 8 rules, which have been used by foreign offenders to make human rights claims. However, details on how these changes will impact immigration control remain sparse, particularly in relation to the recent terror plot targeting the Israeli embassy.
