DEVELOPING: Farage Abruptly Reverses Small Boats Pledge Amid Growing Immigration Crisis

Breaking News: Farage Abruptly Reverses Small Boats Pledge Amid Growing Immigration Crisis Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unexpectedly shifted on his pledge to stop migrants arriving on small boats within two weeks of entering government. In an interview with the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Farage revealed that he would instead focus on passing laws allowing for quick deportations. This reversal comes just 15 minutes ago, and its immediate impact is unclear. However, it marks a significant departure from his previous stance, which was a key part of his party's conference speech in Birmingham on Friday. Farage had previously stated that he would stop the boats within two weeks of winning government, but now says passing laws to enable deportations could take months. This change in approach has sparked concerns about the effectiveness of his immigration policies. Reform UK announced plans last month to deport 600,000 migrants over five years if it won power at the next election. The party's stance on small boats was a major talking point during its conference speech.
