Nigel Farage proposes banning foreign nationals from UK social housing

Summary

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has announced a policy to ban foreign nationals from accessing social housing in the UK. Under the proposal, foreign tenants in social housing would have three months to find private rented accommodation or face losing their right to remain and potential deportation. Farage argued that politicians had created "a backdoor for anti-white discrimination." The policy is part of his party's broader stance that foreign nationals should not have access to welfare. Currently, there are approximately 1.34 million households on social housing waiting lists in the UK.
