Reform plans to review 400,000 asylum claims
Many people could face deportation if Reform UK wins the next general election. The party has vowed to promptly re-evaluate all petitions for asylum submitted since 2021, concentrating on individuals who received asylum, those exceeding their visa duration, or claimants from countries a Reform administration deems secure. This policy would make around 400,000 individuals liable for removal from the UK, according to the party's plans.
