A new poll has found that mass deportations of migrants who commit serious offences would be overwhelmingly popular with the public, while a majority would also support deporting migrants who entered the country illegally.

Reform UK voters responded with almost unanimous support to both proposals.

It comes after the tension within Reform UK moved onto now-expelled Rupert Lowe MP’s use of language regarding immigration.

Speaking to the Telegraph on Thursday, party leader Nigel Farage MP said: “His speech in Essex that he talks about, what I stopped him from using was the word ‘repatriation’.

“I told him not to use the word ‘repatriation’ as well as ‘mass deportations’, because I thought it was a very grave, dark and dangerous use of language.”

In subsequent posts on X, Lowe has claimed that he was censored by Farage over the language of ‘mass deportations’.

Fresh data from Find Out More, shared with GB News, has revealed staggering support amongst the general public for deporting foreign offenders from Britain.

Results show 84 per cent of all voters support the deportation of migrants who commit violent crimes.

Among Reform voters, this number is 99 per cent.

When asked about the deportation of migrants who commit sex offences, the public is again overwhelmingly supportive at 85 per cent – while Reform voters responded with 96 percent support.

A majority of the public also support deporting migrants who have entered the UK illegally – standing at 66 per cent.

Reform voters were almost a clean sweep with 99 per cent supporting the deportation of illegal migrants.

The polling was commissioned by Adam Wren – a young campaigner with a large following on X.

Wren argues that this week’s poll from JL partners, which showed only 14 per cent of Britons can identify a picture of Rupert Lowe MP, has been incorrectly used by some to discredit the parliamentarian and frame him as inherently unpopular.

Speaking to GB News, Wren said: “Recent polling from JL Partners, while initially focused on Rupert Lowe’s recognition, revealed surprising results.

“Lowe’s 14 per cent facial recognition among the general public is remarkable for someone who emerged only months ago.

“Unfortunately, these results have been mischaracterised to portray Lowe’s views as fringe. After Nigel Farage and others claimed Lowe’s positions would make Reform unelectable, we tested these supposedly ‘extreme’ positions with the public.

“The data tells quite a different story.”
