On Radio 4\u2032s Today programme this morning, he said: \u201cReform will deport every illegal immigrant in this country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI want to be crystal clear about what my position is, and Reform UK\u2019s position is, which is we will deport everybody who is here in this country illegally, which is roughly about 1.2 million people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But that put him at odds with Farage, who last year declared that mass deportations could not be done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Asked by GB News if he supported removing all illegal immigrants, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to do. Literally impossible to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cFor us, at the moment, it\u2019s a political impossibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Asked if it was his ambition to be able to do it, Farage replied: \u201cNo. So it\u2019s pointless even going there. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a political impossibility, we simply can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
