Nigel Farage vows to evict all foreign nationals from social housing if Reform gains power

  • Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has outlined a radical policy proposal to evict all foreign nationals from social housing if his party gains power, giving them a three-month grace period to find private accommodation or face deportation.
  • In his inaugural Substack essay, titled “Britain Is A Two Tier State – Against White People”, Mr Farage asserted that white people are unfairly treated by the government across various sectors, including housing, healthcare, education, policing, the military, and the workplace.
  • Mr Farage also reiterated his commitment to repeal the Equality Act under a Reform government, arguing that the British state is no longer working for everyone and citing the murder of Henry Nowak as an example of perceived anti-white bias.
  • Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy criticised Mr Farage's proposals, urging him to take his “nasty hate and anger and division somewhere else” and stating that people desire hope over further division.
  • Reform MP Suella Braverman expressed pride in Mr Farage's essay, agreeing that white people are treated more unfairly than non-white people and supporting the call to challenge the Equality Act, which she believes treats white people less fairly.
