Badenoch: Tories will deport 150,000 migrants a year

Kemi Badenoch has pledged to deport 150,000 illegal migrants a year with new Trump-style immigration squads.

The Conservative Party leader will use this year’s conference in Manchester to announce how she would reform Britain’s migration system after leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).


There is one thing the major political parties have taught us over recent decades - believe nothing they say. None of their claims, promises, manifestos or numbers.

The word 'pledge' is particularly unreliable.

  3. DJ - yes, a temporary shine.

    Tammly - which isn't a guarantee and isn't cast iron.

  7. How did they come to that figure? Why not 50k or 500k? Always makes me call bollocks, when they pull these figures out of their holes with no apparent reason

  8. Bucko - I suppose it's carefully designed to seem big but not too big to trigger disbelief. Not that it is likely to succeed in that.

  9. "Tories will deport 150,000 migrants a year"

    They'll do nothing of the sort because (a) the judges won't let them and (b) nobody believes a word they say any more, on this or anything else, so they are not going to be given the chance.

    "Fool me once..." etc

  10. Anon - I agree, they can say it because it won't be tested.
