In the start of a new essay series, published on Substack, Farage took aim at social housing policy in the UK. 

This essay is entitled “Britain is a two tier state - against white people”.

Describing the situation as “absurd”, the Reform UK leader claimed that councils spend “fortunes” on translation services due to housing non-English speaking migrants. 

“By 2006, statutory guidelines urged housing associations to set targets for ethnic minority letting,” he wrote. 

“The rules that have replaced these are more vague, referring instead to indirect discrimination and allowing judicial review to determine the boundaries. 

“The effect is the same, and the result has been to redistribute the nation’s stock of social housing away from the White British populations who originally inhabited these areas.”

As such, Farage has vowed that a Reform UK government would not allow foreign nationals access to welfare, with this extending to social housing. 

“Foreign nationals who are unable to relocate to private rented accommodation after a three month grace period will lose their right to remain and be liable for deportation under Operation Restoring Justice,” wrote Farage. 

“Residency and preference requirements for social housing will be used to ensure that veterans and long-term local residents will be preferenced for social housing, with exceptions only for groups like domestic abuse survivors and care leavers." 

Development Finance Today reached out to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Housing for its response.

"Illegal migrants, asylum seekers and migrants on student or work visas are not eligible for social housing,” said a government spokesperson.
 
"Nearly nine in ten social homes go to UK nationals and most councils have tough local connections rules in place to ensure housing goes to people who need it most. 

“These rules mean people must have a connection to the local area, such as a social care worker or a nurse at a local hospital, in order to even apply for social housing.”
