NIGEL Farage has called for a minister for deportations as he said that "somebody somewhere in government" needs to be held accountable for the matter.

- CARL COURT

The Reform leader also said that his voters would be "in revolt" if the party looked to do a deal with the Conservatives, after Robert Jenrick called for a “coalition” on the right to take on Labour.

It comes as next week's local elections could test whether Reform’s surging poll numbers are converting into votes.

In a speech from Dover yesterday, Mr Farage said: “We will appoint - we will demand this Government does the same - that there is a minister for deportations. It will be part of the Home Office, but it will be a separate department within it.”
