Why didn’t the Tory do it when the Conservative govt was in power?
It wasn't happening. It’s a Labour thing.
You think? Is that for any offence?

Unlike you to be unsure.
I have found this. That is all I know so far:
AI Overview
Yes, the UK can deport foreign criminals who are in the UK on visas. Foreign nationals sentenced to 12 months or more imprisonment are subject to automatic deportation under the UK Borders Act 2007. This applies unless specific exceptions are met. The Home Secretary also has the discretion to deport individuals for lesser offenses if it is deemed conducive to the public good.

Yes,
"The home Secretary has a legal duty to deport foreign criminals. This ‘automatic deportation’ law applies to non-British, non-Irish nationals sentenced to at least 12 months’ imprisonment for a criminal offence in the UK, with certain exceptions. There is also ministerial discretion to deport foreign nationals for lesser offences if it is considered “conducive to the public good”.

I have to admit, there is one thing I'm sort of with Farage on. During a recent media thingy he was asked by a reporter what should happen with e.g. those coming in illegally from Afghanistan. Farage got a bit irate and essentially said 'I'm getting fed up with this, they should be sent back to Afghanistan.'
I've said before, this is part of the pickle we've now got ourselves in. The very laws no doubt set up with the best of intention are now being used (in some cases exploited) by lawyers to ensure government has very little scope to do anything with these people in terms of sending them back from whence they came. Hence the stories of folk who are known criminals back in their homeland and yet we can't deport them.
So, round and round in circles we go with very little actual progress.

If people are being drawn to Reform, the established parties should be asking themselves why.
I increasingly think we're heading for a Reform government or Reform holding the balance of power. Not saying it's a good thing, not saying it's a bad thing, just saying I reckon that's where we could find ourselves come 2029.
Don't blame Reform, blame our existing p1ss poor established parties who have let the country decline.
I saw that, too. I took the anger from Farage as a bit of theatre. Like his whole persona. It is totally reasonable to ask the possible future PM where we should send somebody who might be tortured or killed in their own country.
