UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration to adopt her party’s deportation bill as a means to reduce immigration. In a video posted on X, Badenoch warned that around two million immigrants could automatically gain British citizenship by next year—nearly double Birmingham’s population.
“We’ve introduced a deportation bill because we are committed to bringing immigration down,” she said.
The bill, unveiled on Tuesday, includes measures such as deporting all foreign criminals, enforcing mandatory age checks, tightening visa rules, limiting human rights claims in immigration cases, making asylum support repayable, and denying permanent residency to those dependent on benefits.
Badenoch urged Labour to stop blocking Conservative immigration proposals, criticizing their current approach as ineffective. “Until this becomes law, the problem won’t be solved. Labour must adopt it now. Our country is a home, not a hotel,” she said.
