Reform UK Proposes Deporting Foreign Prisoners to El Salvador

Reform UK has announced plans to deport foreign criminals to El Salvador, proposing to rent space in the nation's prisons.

The party's home affairs spokesman, Zia Yusuf, stated that the proposal aims to address prison capacity issues in the UK. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has indicated that the party is in talks with El Salvador regarding this plan. The proposal suggests deporting approximately 10,000 UK prisoners. This initiative is part of Reform UK's broader platform on law and order, which includes keeping criminals behind bars.

Farage has also been involved in discussions with the Restore party, demanding the sacking of a co-founder as a condition for talks. In recent polling, Reform UK has seen a decline in support, falling to third place in some surveys.
