Nigel Farage vows to evict foreign nationals from social housing, deport those who don't leave
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage proposed evicting all foreign nationals from social housing within three months or face deportation, in a Substack essay that also attacked anti-white discrimination claims ahead of a by-election.
Policy announcement
Nigel Farage published a 6,800-word Substack essay on Sunday, 14 June 2026, titled "Britain Is A Two Tier State - Against White People". In it, the Reform UK leader and MP for Clacton claimed anti-white racism is embedded in the state and said his party would ban foreign nationals from living in social housing. Those affected would have three months to relocate to private rented accommodation; if they did not, they would lose their right to remain and could face deportation. The ban would apply retrospectively, regardless of how long a person had lived in the UK, and EU citizens would also lose access, with post-Brexit treaties renegotiated to remove non-reciprocal rights.
Foreign nationals who are unable to relocate to private rented accommodation after a three-month grace period will lose their right to remain and be liable for deportation.
Reactions
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told Sky News that people want hope, not more anger and division, and suggested Farage should "take his nasty hate and anger and division somewhere else frankly". Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said Farage was pushing the politics of grievance and division against fundamental British values.
People want hope. They don't want more anger, they don't want more division.
By-election context
The announcement comes ahead of the Makerfield by-election, where Reform UK faces a challenge from Restore Britain, the party led by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe. Polls suggest Restore is gaining support at Reform's expense. Farage's essay, which mentions white people more than 60 times, is seen as an attempt to shore up voters tempted by Restore's even more extreme immigration stance.
Broader policy proposals
Farage also said schools would be limited to celebrating "accepted civic events" and would not be forced to mark Black History Month, Pride Month, or Refugee Week. In healthcare, foreign doctor recruitment would be capped. He described diversity, equity and inclusion policies as a "deeply sinister act of social cleansing" and confirmed Reform would repeal the Equality Act, restoring what he called meritocracy in recruitment and university admissions.
Anti-whiteness is institutionalised into every aspect of public life.
