"Either way it was decided in 2023 to airlift many of them out of Afghanistan, a process that continues to this day.
"We decided that 25,000 of the 100,000 should come to the UK. Amongst the number that have come are convicted sex offenders and the total cost of the operation has been a staggering ￡7 billion.

Mr Farage went on to hit out at both the Conservatives and Labour.
