It’s time to get tough, UK is not a hotel, deport all foreign criminals – Kemi Badenoch tells UK prime minister to adopt ‘deportation bill’
UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration to implement her party’s deportation bill as a means to curb rising immigration.
In a video shared on her X handle, Badenoch warned that by next year, nearly two million immigrants could automatically become British citizens — nearly double Birmingham’s population. She urged Labour to adopt the proposed legislation, emphasizing the Conservative Party’s commitment to reducing immigration.
“We’ve introduced a deportation bill because we are committed to bringing immigration down,” she said.
The bill, unveiled on Tuesday, includes provisions such as the deportation of all foreign criminals, mandatory age checks, stricter visa requirements, limiting the Human Rights Act in immigration cases, making asylum support repayable, and denying permanent residency to those dependent on benefits.
“Until that’s law, we won’t fix it,” Badenoch added. “Labour should adopt it now. It’s time to get tough. That’s what the Conservatives’ deportation bill delivers. Our country is a home, not a hotel.”
