The comments made by Robert Jenrick on 9 June 2026.
Reform UK have announced we will ban visas for anyone coming from Sudan.
Enough is enough.
To those who ask why, here are some indicative statistics:
-The conviction rate for violence by Sudanese migrants is nearly double that for British people.
-Only one Sudanese criminal was successfully returned back to Sudan last year.
-99% of asylum claims from Sudan were granted in 2024.
-There were 14,150 Sudanese-born welfare claimants in 2019. That means nearly half of all Sudanese migrants here are on benefits.
The only reason to have immigration is if it makes British people safer and richer. Clearly migration from Sudan is doing the opposite.
So Reform will ban it, and finally put the British people first.
I know from my time in Westminster that only Nigel Farage has the conviction to actually get this done.
As for the Sudanese man arrested in Belfast for trying to behead someone, he needs to be on the first flight out of the country.
We don’t want to hear any human rights claims from him.
We cannot live alongside someone so barbaric.
