This weekend the Government announced plans to downgrade judges’ powers, with failed asylum seekers’ appeal cases heard instead by a panel of experts in the hope decision-making will become quicker.
Officials say it will slash the backlog, and deportations will surge. However, the Conservatives have already cautioned that less experienced panels will simply approve more applicants.
Despite strident efforts by the Conservatives – both shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick and shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp have made a show of visiting the south coast – to explain how they would deal with the small boats, they are too closely associated with the last Tory government’s decision to place migrants in hotels to solve housing shortages. Meanwhile Labour has failed to deliver on its pledge to abolish the policy.
But for now, Nigel Farage is making hay. On Tuesday, the Reform leader will make his latest statement from an airport hangar in Oxfordshire, representing the mass deportations he has planned. Those who arrive in Britain via small boats should be arrested, held in old RAF bases, denied asylum, and deported in a month, he will say.
Farage will declare the UK should quit the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and ditch the Human Rights Act, and then implement a British bill of rights. It would also derogate from other international treaties. Reform said it would seek deals with countries like Afghanistan and Eritrea, despite concerns about their human rights records.

Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, initiated the study in March, aiming to investigate worries that asylum seekers were leveraging family and private life protections to halt deportation and minimise “exceptional” case classifications.
“I think that the individual measures the Government has taken are extremely helpful in their own right but don’t add up either to a comprehensive answer or an understandable narrative,” he told The Times.
“It’s not unprecedented,” he said. “It’s a blunderbuss measure but sometimes things have moved so rapidly you need to indicate decisive action.”
This week she is instructing councillors how to challenge migrant hotels in their areas, after the High Court granted an injunction that will force the Home Office to relocate up to 138 male asylum seekers from a hotel in Epping in a matter of days.
Low Government spending on the problem matches Starmer’s legal tinkering. By 2028-29, Rachel Reeves has promised up to £280m more annually for the new Border Security Command. Compare and contrast with Donald Trump’s $170bn (£126bn) plan for immigration enforcement over four years.
Labour is being seriously outflanked, and ministers know it. Whether Starmer – who as a lawyer wrote a legal handbook on human rights – can bring himself to distance himself from the ECHR is far less certain.
