Farage’s Reform Vows to Use Council Powers to Block Migrant Hotels, Green Agenda

by Kurt Zindulka

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party plans to hit the ground running after its stunning victory at the local council elections in England last week, with leadership vowing to use their newfound power to block illegal migrants from being housed in areas they control and to launch legal challenges against the leftist government’s green agenda.

Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf said Sunday that the insurgent party will deploy “every instrument of power available” at the council level to block the government from dispersing so-called asylum seekers — many of whom arrived illegally from safe countries like France — throughout the country.

Successive governments have put illegals up in hotels at taxpayer expense, and the Labour government of Sir Kier Starmer is reportedly planning on expanding the Conservative-era programme of renting private homes in towns across the country, sparking safety concerns and of further exacerbating the housing crunch, which has prevented many young adults from getting a foot on the property ladder.

Speaking to the BBC, Yusuf said that Reform will use legal injunctions, judicial reviews, and planning laws to stop the further spreading of migrants by the government.
