In recent elections on both sides of the Atlantic, voters have shown that they are fed up with massive, unchecked waves of illegal immigrants crossing into their nations. However, many traditional political parties have not responded with the fervor voters demand.
As a result, new political parties have arisen to represent their priorities. Reform UK has taken up that mantle in the United Kingdom, winning the most local council seats in the 2026 local elections and polling as voters’ first choice to govern the UK in the next general election.
Reform UK’s Spokesman for Home Affairs, Zia Yusuf, joins Heritage's Nile Gardiner to share how his party will strengthen the UK’s immigration enforcement to defend Britain’s borders and national sovereignty if they become the next governing party. Beyond immigration, they will also discuss the broader challenge of safeguarding Western institutions and values.
