Reform UK wants to launch “the largest military operation in the English Channel since World War Two” to stop small boat arrivals from France.
A Nigel Farage-led government would send the Royal Navy into the channel to intercept all migrant boats there and return them to France or Belgium under a plan called “operation fortress”.
The party says the plan is in line with international law and that it will both halt small boat arrivals and act as a humanitarian response.
Labour criticised the “reheated” announcement and said “anger and easy answers won’t bring crossings down”.
