The Tories, Britain’s Conservative Party, have unveiled a sweeping immigration plan pledging to remove 750,000 people from the country within five years.
The proposal, announced as the party gathers for its annual conference in Manchester, marks its most hardline stance on migration yet, reflecting the growing influence of Reform UK and its populist rhetoric.
Under the plan, a rebranded ‘Removals Force’ within the Home Office would be tasked with deporting 150,000 people annually, funded by a doubled budget of £1.6bn.
The party claims this would target both current undocumented migrants and future arrivals, as well as foreign nationals convicted of crimes beyond minor traffic offences. Officials would be instructed to carry out removals “within hours or a few days”.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said illegal migrants should “go back to where they came from”, although she declined to name which countries would accept them. The proposal includes measures to ban anyone entering the UK without permission from ever seeking asylum and to prevent rejected applicants from appealing in court.
The government would instead handle appeals internally, abolishing the Immigration Tribunal and cutting off legal aid, asserting that “there will be no need for lawyers”.
The Tories also intend to leave the European Convention on Human Rights if elected, arguing that the treaty obstructs deportations. This move, long championed by right-wing factions, sets a sharp contrast with the Labour government, which has resisted such a withdrawal but pledged to toughen enforcement against small boat crossings.
The Conservatives draw inspiration from the United States, where Donald Trump expanded the powers of immigration enforcement agencies. They propose biometric checks for all police arrests and expanded detention facilities holding up to 2,000 people.
Critics argue the plan would erode legal safeguards and strain Britain’s international relationships. Yet for Badenoch, the pledge may serve as a rallying cry to a restless base.
With polls showing steep declines in support, the Tories are betting that a promise to “take back control” of Britain’s borders might still stir fading loyalty among disillusioned voters.
