The Taliban has said it is “ready and willing” to work with Nigel Farage to accept Afghans who have been deported from the UK.

A senior Taliban official said they would “embrace” any Afghans sent back under the Reform leader’s plan, unveiled on Tuesday, to deport 600,000 illegal migrants.

Mr Farage said he would meet his deportation target by striking deals with countries such as Afghanistan, Iran and Eritrea and tearing up treaties including the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Reform also suggested that it was willing to pay foreign regimes such as the Taliban – which is not recognised by the UK as Afghanistan’s legitimate government – to incentivise them to accept returns. Other countries, such as Germany, have made deals with the Taliban to accept deported migrants.

However, the Taliban indicated that it would not take money directly but would accept aid to support returnees, insisting that they would be treated “with dignity”.

Following Mr Farage’s speech on Tuesday, No 10 opened the door to potentially agreeing their own deal with the Taliban in the future. However, the senior official in Kabul suggested that it may be easier to negotiate with the Reform leader than Sir Keir Starmer.

The official told The Telegraph: “We are ready and willing to receive and embrace whoever he [Nigel Farage] sends us. We are prepared to work with anyone who can help end the struggles of Afghan refugees, as we know many of them do not have a good life abroad.

“We will not take money to accept our own people, but we welcome aid to support newcomers, since there are challenges in accommodating and feeding those returning from Iran and Pakistan.

“Afghanistan is home to all Afghans, and the Islamic Emirate is determined to make this country a place where everyone – those already here, those returning, or those being sent back from the West by Mr Farage or anyone else – can live with dignity.”

The official suggested that it might be easier to deal with the Reform leader if he were to become prime minister because of his “different” views.

We will have to see what Mr Farage does when or if he becomes prime minister of Britain, but since his views are different, it may be easier to deal with him than with the current ones,” he said. “We will accept anyone he sends, whether they are legal or illegal refugees in Britain.”
