Reform UK Vows Navy Operation to Stop Small Boat Crossings

Reform UK has promised to launch a large-scale military operation, dubbed 'Operation Fortress', to stop small boat crossings in the English Channel if the party wins the next general election. The party says it would deploy the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats. Nigel Farage also vowed to order Royal Marines to return Channel migrants to French beaches. The plan has been described by Reform UK as the largest military operation since World War Two.
