Reform UK threatening to punish areas that don't vote Reform

politicsMay 4, 202616712,683

Reform UK distributed a campaign leaflet promising that constituencies that vote for Reform will be guaranteed no immigration detention centre will be built in their area and offered a postcode lookup showing where centres could be sited. The leaflet bluntly framed the choice as "Vote Green, get illegals," included a "Table of offences" listing migrant categories, and tied detention-centre placement to how an area votes. Tying the siting of state facilities to electoral support raises legal and ethical concerns about using public services to reward or punish communities and could breach electoral fairness and equality principles.

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

Today we announce a new policy:


In order to deport all illegal migrants in
Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of
thousands at a time.


Migrants will not be able to leave these
detention centres, and each will be held
there a couple of weeks before being
deported.


So here's our promise:


A Reform government will not put any
migrant detention facilities in any
constituency with a Reform MP.


Nor will we put them where Reform
controls the council.


And of the remaining areas, we will
prioritise Green controlled parliamentary
constituencies and Green controlled
councils to locate the detention centres.


Put simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee y

They've created an unholy fear of these people and now they are weaponising them. It's literally how Nazii worked. Migrants are human beings not "illegals" and if you know someone who intends to vote Reform then it might be a moment to ask them if they are OK with disgusting behaviour like this.

I don’t know what’s worse: that he thought this was the right thing to say or that he thinks it’ll appeal to people. I’m heartbroken that this is happening in our country I’ll say it again, anyone voting Reform knows what they stand for. No excuses Farage’s fascist project started with Brexit 1/2

Carol Hedges81

Now you see how the Nazis did it. The slow drip drip Of hate. The lack of any opposition to it. The manipulation of the media .. the tolerance of hate. Millions will be rejoicing at this.

Peter Welsh52

When Zia is on #bbcqt next week I hope someone in the audience challenges him over this revolting Reform cobblers.

Paul Russell49

I think we’ve been shown enough now - lies, crypto donations, ugly political threats, extremist policies, global far right connections, naked racism - to know that these people intend to bring the full range of MAGA-style corruption, chaos and hatred to the UK. There’s still time to stop them.

Snigdha39

The Reform party are arguably in breach of s114A of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (undue influence). www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/2...

Dawn D38

My jaw has just hit the floor. They can't be allowed to get away with that surely!

Robby_red34

They’re obviously worried by the rise of the greens and their taking of some of the anti-establishment vote

PeteGulls30

This is Nazi level stuff. Yusuf should pay a heavy price.

Clive28

Zia Yusuf is a vile bastard who most in Reform would deport and not give him the time of day if he didn’t have money

Bill Thompson23

But surely all those Reform voters keen to work as prison guards will want an easy commute to work? I’m assuming there are a lot of them who’d like a free uniform and sone power

Lizzy Mary20

F*r*ge obviously doesn’t enjoy scrutiny as much as publicity and the wheels are starting to come off. His Thai based paymaster probably not happy either to have his name plastered over the news regularly. True colours emerging but anyone with sense knew this bullying would be coming.

Chris Smith14

Where are all the apologists who said these people are not fascists? They seem very quiet these days?

Jem Condliffe14

He’s admitting (1) they won’t win a landslide, cos he can’t avoid Reform seats if they’re mostly Reform (think Minesweeper) (2) the Greens are the biggest threat and will win a lot of seats, or he’d not have the option of selection (3) they’re so frightened of the Greens they need to make threats.

AngelM1614

I was undecided (tactical voter) but I might vote Green specifically to stick a middle finger up to them now.

Bryn Buck 🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤13

Presumably Yusuf *is* aware he will be sent to one of these camps as soon as Farage has enough power to shed the brown faces from his movement without being called out as a racist. Shades of Röhm here.

rmcl82.bsky.social13

The logical conclusion of profoundly divisive “us and them” politics. Actually scratch that - just a beginning rather than an end.

D.Moore12

‘By establishing camps there, the Nazis aimed to implement their policies close to the population they intended to destroy.’ polandatwartours.com/why-were-mos...

Chronic Historian ♾️♿️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💜🖤💛🦓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍉🐺🐈‍⬛🧑‍🌾🌱🌳11

Straight out of the Nazi playbook. Remember, they were always keen to have concentration camps out of their supporter communities because even people who are all about pretty awful things don’t like having the reality of that shoved in their faces. That might make them remember compassion.

Gill West11

Utterly grim and the same playbook as the worst sort of race-baiting of the Enoch Powell era. And the same Zia Yusuf now appears to occupy Farage’s permanent seat on QT, with his smarmy grin & slippery innuendos. Reform are dangerous, divisive charlatans backed big money: this won’t end well.

Mike10

Can I just say as a GP member (in case few hadn’t noticed) - bring it on!! Reform peddle fear, nastiness and division. The Green Party offer hope, kindness and unity. It’s why I’m a GP member Refugees need to be housed while claims are processed - I’m sure they’d prefer a welcoming area

Rob Weaver9

Okay. That's just increased my chances of voting Green then.

Trish9

I would hope we’re better than this. But many of us aren’t.

Melissa Jo Peltier8

Don’t let them gaslight you. They want to make you think they are inevitable. That’s how we got a second season of Trump, with an even more diabolical cast than the 1st season. Remember Hungary - you still have a chance to say NO to this.

Dr Negrin's Victory Pills7

This has to be illegal under electoral law, it's a direct threat against people wanting to vote for another party. Undue influence and intimidation. I've written to the @electoralcommission.org.uk to complain, and I suggest others do too.

Dave M7

I can't help but think that with a little thought and creativity, this could be an open goal for the green party. Reform think they're being cute and clever, but in reality it doesn't even qualify as A level politics....

ChrisMcS526

Deform revealing true colours - menacing message. This is not who we are, do not be fooled by these self serving charlatans.

geojl.bsky.social6

Disgusting people! Tories ‘punished’ Labour councils with underfunding. This is worse. This is an open threat to vote Reform or else. My postal vote is in. I voted Green. It was the correct decision. Reform can f*** off!

annmayevans.bsky.social5

Look at USA that’s what reform ‘s party is supported by Trump . An army like ICE on the streets rounding up who they like and concentration camps . It’s a one only policy that doesn’t lead to any improvement for the ordinary citizens . BEWARE.

A_Nurse__🇮🇪 🇪🇺5

Why would a Reform government need lots of migrant detention centres They'd have stopped the boats No?

Peter H4

This is beyond disgusting. An out and out threat. Hang on, on reflection, I wouldn't have expected anything else from this bunch of rascist low lifes

Rob Baron4

Vote Reform, get pound shop Trump. Politics that prioritises the persecution of political opponents above any consideration of what is good for the country.

Verity Imelda Player4

Wait so if we vote Green we get all the chefs, hospital porters, delivery lads, dusties, doctors and other assorted not-quite-Brits who do the useful work, housed in our neighborhood?? #VOTEGREEN!!

Andrew Cherry4

Putting aside the massive racism just for a moment, if they're not allowed to leave the detention centre, why would it be a problem to live near one? Does he know what a prison is? People live near those too. The bigotry is shameful, the lack of logic is just embarrassing.

Colandme (Extremist Allegedly) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿4

The current government are investigating sites in Scotland to contain nuclear waste and propose a nuclear station here to justify it despite being self sufficient in renewables. Add this to Trident in our heavily populated central belt and we know all about being a Westminster dumping ground

James3

Nail and coffin comes to mind. I've been working around the country for decades and there's no way on earth that anyone is bum rushing into communities and snatching swathes of citizens without a fight or riot breaking out. Agitation is all these wankers know, they haven't the brains to govern.

Pete Lewis3

I look forward to Reform voters' warm acceptance of being stripped of their rights protected by the ECHR given how they support the removal of them. The government should opt them out of those rights before any further elections commence.

Catio Miles3

So if various constituencies will get what they want, can those areas such as London, Oxford, Cambridge, etc, can they join the EU as they want it?

Peter Keane3

Many will want this. Fascism has always appealed to people who 'can't be bothered with Politics cos they're all the same'. The idea of Democracy being about 'Rights' AND 'Responsibilities' means it's all too much. They would rather just be told that none of its their fault,it's all due to 'Others'!

Thunderclap Noonan3

Swap the Greens for Labour and you have this hideous propaganda.

Dr Eric Farmer2

This is just one step away from "Vote Reform or the puppy gets it". At least they're beginning to show their true sinister colours. The guy making this threat is not even an MP. And he's the son of immigrants, which somehow makes his views even more odious.

DarvitWendy2

Truly appalling Rarely is the content more awful than the headline

Loping ted2

Straight out of Trumpton Vote reform Or get punished? will they withdraw funding to constituencies that don’t follow the reform party line ? The writing is on the wall

D.Moore2

A Reform govt stripping our rights demonising immigrants and defunding social care/arts would clearly be met by mass protests in cities like Brighton & Bristol. Quite handy for them to have massive detention centres nearby

Michele2

They’ve gone full Trump which is interesting when you see just how unpopular he is in the UK.

marg67.bsky.social2

Is this actually for real ? Youless thinks he's the Stephen Miller of the UK .Vile little man living in a fantasy world that he thinks people who vote for Reform like people who look like him .

Anne 2

This is beyond disgraceful. Reform UK are telling everyone they want the UK to be like America; ICE thugs on the streets, punishing areas that don't support them, selling off the NHS, taking away our human rights. Anyone who votes for them is either misguided or incredibly stupid.

David Burrows, Antifa Armadillo2

Trump’s playbook. And see how that’s playing out. Reform is not serious about government. It doesn’t care about you. It’s a petulant and puerile party full of (in the pockets of) tax-dodging grifters and conscienceless bigots. It doesn’t want responsibility, it wants power. VOTE GREEN. #votegreen

Kate2

Grim. Let’s hope voters reject Reform Ltd’s message of division and hate 😣

Alyx AKA Mr Rambler2

Call me naive but I thought a Government once elected was supposed to work for the benefit of all citizens not just those who voted for them?

~<《🅕🅛🅨》>~2

Scare tactics. I was already worried. I wonder who's already getting the contracts. It's all about the grift, just like in America, millions spent destroying neighbourhoods.

farawaywatcher.bsky.social2

It’s the Putin Trump playbook all over again. Orban used to espouse similar rhetoric but look what high levels of voting did for him Get out and vote - tactically if necessary.

I have just complained to the Electoral Commission aboot Reform/Zia Yusuf threatening Green Voting areas with Detention/Concerntration Camps under 'Undue Influence' Contact us online | Electoral Commission share.google/Idfcudy8tx79...

Danny Fearns49

Probably the main reason why Farage ducked out of the Kuennsberg show yesterday. He gets extremely tetchy when challenged about his weakness where large amounts of cash are concerned.

Tarquin35

Reform are now saying 'Vote Green, Get Illegals.' I think you could counter that with 'Vote Reform, get Nazis.'

Reform are running scared of how well the Greens are doing, they're actively trying to put people off of voting Green. You are a credible threat to their power grab! Keep up the good work 👏👏👏 #VoteGreen #NeverReform

He’s brought us Brexit and he’s Trump aligned. There’s nothing else that I need to know to never vote for them.

Antifa, since I was born7

Farage accepted £5m which he said was to pay for security, so how many surgeries has he held since being elected? After all he has the money to make them very safe. I genuinely believe it's a number between zero and none.

Farage is a Putin/Thiel/Trump/Musk op. Give them no quarter. Crush fascism.

True 👏 but in South Wales Valleys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 seats vote @plaidcymru.bsky.social to stop Reform being the biggest party in Senedd. Greens won't win seats there (don't reach threshold of 12%) but Plaid majority in Senedd will give Greens real leverage with seats they'll win in Cardiff, Newport.

seafoodscoffer.bsky.social5

Reform are now laying bare who they are. No ifs, no buts. Unlike Brexit there will be no excuse that Reform voters were misled, because the plans for concentration camps are laid bare here for all to see.

1/You may be a little biased in your preference Zack, but Farage is worse than an establishment stooge. The establishments he is a stooge of are Russia & USA. He is a Trump mini-me. He will weaken UK just as Trump has weakened America. (cont)

Judith Fairbairn3

Depends on your constituency. Voting Green for me means Tory.

Leviathan Wilde3

Well, I know you are campaigning… but factually it will really depend on one’s local area. In some local areas Green ARE the only party that can stop Reform. In some it will be only Plaid, in some Labour, others Lib Dem, SNP or independents. In some areas a vote for Green might sadly let in Reform.

Voting for Farage is the UK equivalent of voting for Turnip. Don't do that to yourselves. You see what shite we are dealing with!

My impression of Mr Farage is that his personal business interests do not align with what's in the best interest of #Britain It's certainly difficult to change what someone says in public when their "salary" & \ or political career depends on them not changing (or adapting, learning, updating...)

Jeremy Corbyn
@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social

Reform want to round up migrants and detain them indefinitely in areas that don’t vote for them. Yet for most of our media, it’s those marching for Palestine who are creating hatred & fear. These disgusting plans are an affront to democracy — and must be fiercely opposed.

Scotland must break free from the vile cesspit that Westminster’s is becoming. Time for Scottish democracy to be recognised . No more right wing governments measuring their success by how well the wealthy are doing or a Brexit that we voted 62% against

theoctoberist.bsky.social13

This is not just Reform. This is every extreme right or tbh right-wing political agenda in Europe at present. A “business model” appeared to work in the US & those parties see how easy it was to overrun gov institutions. This has been coming for 20 years. Worst part is how so few saw it.

LesKUK10

These aren't plans. They're just soundbites to try and win a few more votes from people stupid enough to believe that all our problems are due to immigrants.

comradebushwic.bsky.social9

The system is designed this way on purpose so that rich politicians can control what happens. In the USA you have an illusion of freedom and choice, when in reality, it's a capitalist system that only benefits the rich and you're only as free as your bank account allows you to be.

stergio.bsky.social9

Did 1930s Germany have similar immigration plans?

Grumpy Middle Aged White Guy9

It’s worth noting also that as Reform’s staunchest support comes from economically deprived areas, where it is much cheaper to place immigration detention centres.

Pumpkin #FBPE 🇬🇧🇪🇺 8

It's illegal...so do your job and report it. Voter Coercion: It is strictly illegal to use threats or menaces to influence a voter's decision. This is designed to ensure that every vote remains a "free vote," independent of intimidation.

It's amazing how quickly starmer brought in restrictions on pro Palestine protests but did nothing when far right groups were rioting up and down the country. It feels like a certain group have preferential treatment.

Well back in the 70's the Tories had a racist election slogan in the Midlands that was, "Vote for Labour and get a N**** for a neighbor" And here we are in 2026 with this crap from the facist Deform UK specifically aimed against the Green Party!

They are promising something that isn't even possible because this is a local election and they only have 5 MPs!!The decision on where a detention centre goes is up to Govt and Reform are nowhere near Govt (thank God) so they are promising something they can't deliver + hopefully will never deliver!

As a Green Party member (ex-Labour) I welcome immigrants in my neighbourhood! I'd probably be out there with bolt cutters releasing them from the detention centres. And I'd rather have immigrants than easily influenced bigots as neighbours

Putting it very, very bluntly.....

To actually do this Reform would need to change the planning laws, a regulatory process that the HoL will do everything possible to stall and seek numerous amendments to.

The increase in immigration via small boats is on Farage and the hard Brexit the Tories brought us. Leaving the Dublin agreement means we can't simply return anyone arriving on a small boat. Farage must be made to own that. Will any TV interviewer raise it?🤔

There are no depths to which he will not plumb. I cannot see why he appears so popular, trying to out Trump Trump which is saying something!!

Alec Depledge2

Vile policy, vile company (not a party) - vile person

There you have it, in plain sight: a vile, maleficent opportunist, appealing to the worst nature of the worst group of people for political gain and obvious manipulation of ignorance!

#tRumpSnifferFarage #DeformUKKK #ReformIntoFascism I believe that #traitorFarage and other traitors, that took #RussianMoney, such as #traitorJohnson, should all be deported and have their citizenship revoked, and all their assets seized (domestic and foreign).

Not at the risk of the Conservatives winning my council back. And actually, my Labour run council is currently doing a good job, and this isn't a GE

My bins being collected has nothing to do with Palestine.

Only if they have a chance of winning in your area, otherwise you could be letting in Reform. Vote tactically Stopreformuk.vote

lazytitan258.bsky.social10

Because he refuses to acknowledge the hate crimes perpetrated by election candidates in his own party? That’s your pitch?

Alex Gallagher9

The very fact he's talking about Palestine shows he has no policies for local government which what the election is about.

This guy seems complicit, at best, in antisemitism while crying about how he can’t be challenged because he’s Jewish. The US political situation sucks, but seeing that UK has hatred on the left, hatred on the right, and a corporate shill flip flopper in the middle also sucks.

KarenFrancoK6

It's not Reform, it's RefUK. 😁 bsky.app/profile/brex...

slappingkarma.bsky.social4

It's UK local elections. It's all about electing councillors. That's it. If you are voting for a different motive, then you probably need to take corrective action immediately.

Lorraine Driver4

It’s not a GE Vote for whichever party will deliver local services best The country has mixed capability councils of all colours and that’s fine by me

John Swinney's Smarter Brother3

Garbage. The Greens are a student protest party with a fake hypnotist as its leader. He is just Farage but with alleged tree hugging.

Somebody Sometimes an AI3

So Polanski was not aware of this or was he lying or does he know that there have been antisemitic hate at marches but he didn't see it so he was playing with words? www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Only if you want a party with no viable policies running your town just the ‘Love one another’ thing which some people may find it hard to achieve.

Another thing about this statement, for the politically hard of thinking to consider, Reform are proven liars and will probably build their concentration camps anywhere they want to. Also if you don't vote Reform, there won't be concentration camps built anywhere, let alone in your constituency

Zia Yusuf
@ZiaYusufUK
Today we announce a new policy:
In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.
Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.
So here's our promise:
A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP.
Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council.
And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.
Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won't have a detention centre near you.
If you vote Green, there's a good chance you will.
This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed.
Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy.

And of course, the reason that this is being touted by the unelected (and unelectable) Zia Yusuf, is so that when it doesn't happen, Fauxrage can say, "No. No. No. No. No. I didn't say that!" 🤫

Farage will pay your medical bills. Account suspended! Why? 😥😢12

It's fascist crap! Vote for us or you will suffer.

How can “let’s copy what America is doing”, in any form, be a winning strategy?

Voter Coercion: It is strictly illegal to use threats or menaces to influence a voter's decision. This is designed to ensure that every vote remains a "free vote," independent of intimidation.

Rob Judge9

It is ironic that Zia Yusuf has not worked out that the racist Reform sheep will put him in such a concentration camp… FAFO.

"If you vote against us, we'll punish you"

Binding legislation means this is impossible to enforce. Of course, that’s not to say if they got into No 10, that they wouldn’t try and rip up said laws, but, there are backstops in place. It’s all dog-whistle tactics to encourage votes. Their hard of thinking fan base can’t understand that.

Pete7

Majority of Reform victims I speak with have no idea who Zia is or even who Richard Tice is. It's a personality cult built around Farage.

Waterbloke7

Tiny problem with this isn't there? Fartrage has to get into power first, & if they keep making statements like this, more people will start voting to stop him. No chance getting your party into parliament locally? Hold yer nose & vote tactically to screw up the fascists. Vote actively.

Reform voters who live in a green constituency won't be happy😊

Say no to concentration camps in Britain

Richard Hernaman Allen5

Seeing the reaction to this on my neighbourhood website, I realised just how easy it was for Germany to slip into Nazism. We are a long way down the path already.

alsopharmb.bsky.social5

Putinization- just like in USA. If you like the looks of Trump and his ICE gestapo you will love what Putin has planned for the UK. Reform, just like MAGA, is a Russian designed plan to destroy the West from the inside.

me with ME 🇬🇧 📷 🍂 ❤️☮️ 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇨🇦4

Sadly I think that’s too logical and sensible for their voters to comprehend. All they see if ‘ha, that’ll show those pesky extreme lefties’, just like MAGA wanted to ‘own the Dems’.

Bill4

Farage = Trump Trump is destroying the United States. Why on earth would the United Kingdom want to follow down the same path. Leaders who base policies upon hate and racism never turn out to be the good guys. Choose wisely UK 🇬🇧

katsmyname.bsky.social4

What the absolute what?? This is not a policy it’s an attempted bribe and also not actually possible under current British planning process

Pamela Fiore... and live alone in the bee-loud glade3

it's blackmail or extortion. not such which.

Jesus wept, I’ve seen policy announcements aiming to dredge the u-bend for racist votes…this one is a new low is shitty, cynical politics. Vote green, be seen.

lavallette.bsky.social3

There’s nothing more that reform supporters love than attacking someone else so they can feel superior to somebody. They are so small minded they would live in poverty & slums just so long as someone else is worse off than them

Steve Batty 🟢3

What Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf fails to realise is that under a Reform Government, he'll be the first in.

Alan Purchase2

Clearly Reform are worried that the Greens are a threat.

NaffNaffBobFace2

I couldn't believe it but nope there it is on The Other Place. "Vote for us or we'll punish you"...? Do they have any idea just how much masochistic selflessness the British have? Even their core voter base would be like: "Better vote for the greens so no one else has a camp forced on them, then."

Millie, or Mills if we’re friends2

Why is it that every time the US loses its mind, y’all try to follow? Never in as big a way, but still… Don’t be us. You are our parents and we expect better! 🙏🏻❤️

They're so close. So close to just saying "We're the Fascist party"

Anyone thinking of voting for Reform should take a good look at what those same policies have done to the US, and none of it is good.

Remember the riots in 2024, well Nigel Farage is here trying to incite people again. And lying again, you are not voting for MPs, and people here illegally are already being deported. It's just all lies, as usual. Don't vote Reform.

Andy Burge 🇬🇧🇪🇺9

So he's going to deport everyone who has already been granted asylum; nice 🤮 & he sounds gleeful about it. What he won't tell you is that exiting the UNCHR & ECHR & repealing the HRA - all necessary to do this - will allow him to achieve his real aim; removal of all rights, human & workers' & regs

Marlowe_UK8

The only true thing he said was “you get what you vote for” And I will have fuck all sympathy for the dribbling racist pricks who elect reform Councils this week thinking they’re “getting Starmer out innit?” They ABSOLUTELY deserve what’s coming next.

Holly Brigstocke7

Braying wanker. He wants to bring in authoritarian rule and concentration camps. No parliament should be allowed to rewrite the social contract and tip up human rights and equality without a referendum with safeguards. Howzabout that Nigel?

Victoriahollie36

I'm guessing this policy is there to avoid the 5 million he has received. Let's talk about this instead. Chancer

He certainly doesn't dress as "a man of the people"

What a fuckin evil cunt. To think it survived a plane crash. But the most shocking thing of all is that this campaign video is even acceptable! It isn't acceptable in any stretch of the imagination.

odinoneye65.bsky.social3

So that's what he was busy doing... Brave Nazi Nigel ran away. ("No!") Bravely ran away, away. ("I didn't!") When the Kuenssberg show reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. ("No!") Yes, grifting Nigel turned about ("I didn't!") And gallantly he chickened out.

Indeed, don't be stupid, be a smarty never vote for the Nazi party!!! Nigel appears to be in need of sustenance. I'll do my part...
