Reform UK has pledged to deploy the British navy to stop small boat crossings in the English Channel if the party wins power. The proposal, described by the party as the largest military operation in the region since World War II, was announced on Monday. The plan has been met with immediate criticism from experts and rival political parties.
The announcement follows a period of political turbulence for Reform UK. While the party previously held a lead in national polls for approximately 18 months, that lead has declined in recent weeks. The party is currently facing a series of scandals and official investigations regarding its financial activities.
