PoliticsHard-right Reform UK proposes navy-led operation to stop small migrant boats

Britain’s hard-right Reform UK party has unveiled a plan to deploy the Royal Navy against small migrant boats crossing the Channel. It described the proposed effort to return the boats to France as the largest military operation in the waterway since World War II. Experts and rival political parties quickly dismissed the proposal. The announcement comes while Reform UK and its leader, Nigel Farage, face a series of scandals.
