NIGEL Farage is ready to go to court to stop asylum seekers being housed in Reform-run areas.

A legal battle with Ministers is now on the cards within 100 days in a major push to close migrant hotels blighting communities.

The battle-hardy tactics were revealed by party chair Zia Yusuf who revealed “every instrument of power” will be deployed by local authorities.

The move follows Sir Keir Starmer declaring he would bring asylum hotels, costing £5.5 million PER DAY, to an end in an election pledge.

The Reform proposals come days after the party enjoyed spectacular election success winning control of ten local authorities.

Mr Yusuf told the BBC: “Those levers of power will be pulled with all of our might by Reform councils, we’ll use every instrument of power available to us to stop it.

“And there are things you can do, there are judicial reviews, there are injunctions, there’s a lot of different things can be done, things around planning.”

He conceded that the “levers of power” were greater from Westminster but attempts would be made despite contracts between the Home Office and accommodation providers.

He told the BBC: “You know, a lot of these hotels – there has been litigation around this already.

“A lot of these hotels, when you suddenly turn them into something else, which is essentially a hostel that falls foul of any number of regulations.

And that’s what our teams of lawyers are exploring at the moment.”

He said his party had pledged to “resist” housing asylum seekers in Reform controlled areas.

Mr Yusuf told The Telegraph the legal action could be launched by the autumn.

He said: “Reform-controlled councils will launch the resistance to the dispersal of illegal immigrants into their communities within their first 100 days.”

The victories last week, including the Runcorn by-election, led Mr Farage to insist he was on course to be Prime Minister.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said it was feasible that Mr Farage could enter Downing Street – saying Anthony Albanese came back to win there having been written off.

She told the BBC: “As I said, anything is feasible. Anthony Albanese: people were writing him off. He has just won a landslide, but my job is to make sure that he (Farage) does not become prime minister because he does not have the answers to the problems the country is facing.”
