Hard-right Reform UK proposes navy-led operation to stop small migrant boats
Reform UK, a hard-right political party, has proposed deploying the Royal Navy to intercept small migrant boats in the Channel and return them to France. The plan, described as the largest military operation in the region since World War II, was dismissed by experts and other political parties. The proposal coincides with ongoing scandals involving Reform UK and its leader, Nigel Farage.
