Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has begun talks with the government of El Salvador about the possibility of leasing prison spaces to deport foreign criminals from the United Kingdom. Farage's proposal aims to address the issue of foreign offenders currently serving time in UK prisons.

In a recent statement, Farage emphasized the need for a more radical approach to tackling crime in the UK, highlighting his commitment to transferring foreign criminals to El Salvador as part of a broader strategy to overhaul the UK justice system. This plan aligns with the group's agenda to reduce the burden on UK taxpayers associated with housing incarcerated foreign nationals.
