UK Liberal Democrats condemn plan for widespread migrant deportations

LONDON: The UK Liberal Democrats have condemned the “Reform UK” party’s proposal for the widespread deportation of migrants, describing it as a “human rights destroyer.” Daisy Cooper, the party’s deputy leader, stated on Tuesday, that the potential to pay the Taliban to return Afghan migrants signifies the misuse of British taxpayers’ money to bolster the oppressive Taliban regime. Cooper added that this action constitutes a “betrayal of British forces” who previously fought against the Taliban in Afghanistan. The “Reform UK” party, led by Nigel Farage, recently announced a program aimed at deporting asylum seekers who have entered the UK “illegally,” even expressing willingness to pay the Taliban for this purpose.
