The Spectator(@spectator):Reform today pledged the 'biggest mass deportation programme' in UK history, as Nigel Farage thrust the issue of illegal migration back onto the Westminster agenda. Over the long conference recess, Andy Burnham has made an immense effort to steer public discourse away from the dinghy crisis, opting instead to make bogus claims about Russian interference in Brexit and focus on forging closer ties with Europe. At a press conference in Dover today, Farage sought to put an end to Labour's distraction tactics – and he was shrewd to do so. ✍️ Noa Hoffman Article | https://t.co/05kkJTsOHx
