Abstract
The article focuses on the anti-immigration Reform UK Party's proposal to review all asylum claims from the past five years and deport individuals deemed to have entered the UK illegally or overstayed visas if the party wins the next general election. Reform UK estimates this policy could save taxpayers £14.3 billion over five years and £137 billion over its lifetime, though think-tanks like the Institute for Fiscal Studies have questioned these savings. The party, led by Nigel Farage and currently holding eight parliamentary seats, has led voting intention polls for a year, increasing its chances of forming a government by 2029. Reform UK plans to use existing Home Office staff to enforce the policy, offering voluntary departure periods before enforced removals by a proposed UK Deportation Command.
