Background

We want this to protect UK taxpayers and public services, uphold border integrity, and ensure accountability. Some countries refuse to repatriate their nationals. We believe this increases pressure on services and contributes to rising crime and violence. We believe Foreign Aid must be conditional on cooperation to stop subsidising obstruction, safeguard communities, and reinforce the UK’s immigration system, ensuring national security and fairness in the use of public funds.
