Reform UK MP Richard Tice has launched a scathing attack on Kemi Badenoch's immigration speech, dismissing it as "waffle, waffle, waffle" and accusing the Conservative leader of being "pro-mass immigration".
Speaking after Badenoch's address at the Centre for Policy Studies, Tice condemned her remarks as "the same old boring, untrustworthy garbage" that the Tories have been delivering for years.
"She's actually pro-mass immigration. She can't be trusted on this issue," Tice declared, suggesting voters would "see right through" her stance on immigration control.
In her Westminster speech, Badenoch pledged to review "every policy, treaty and part of our legal framework, including the ECHR and the Human Rights Act".

The Conservative leader outlined plans for "a strict numerical cap" on immigration, though declined to specify exact figures.
She warned that Britain's current immigration levels are "unsustainable" and occurring "at a pace too fast to maintain public services".

The criticism comes as Badenoch attempts to position the Conservatives as the party to tackle immigration concerns, despite their recent 14-year tenure in government.
GB News star Martin Daubney echoed similar sentiments, saying his "jaw was on the floor" during Badenoch's speech, dismissing it as "damage limitation".
Tice predicted that tomorrow's immigration figures would show net migration of "well over half a million people" for the year ending June.

"That's still a multiple of what they promised," he said, dismissing the Conservative Party's claims of success in reducing numbers.
The Reform UK leader concluded his criticism by asserting that "only Reform UK can be trusted on immigration", suggesting voters would reject Badenoch's approach.
This comes as Badenoch attempts to claim credit for any potential reduction in tomorrow's figures, having earlier stated that such changes would be "due to the reforms that the Conservatives made during our final months in power".
