Reform UK Calls for Military Operation to Block Migrant Boats in the Channel

Reform UK proposed a joint military command using the Royal Navy, Marines, RAF, and Army to intercept migrant boats crossing the English Channel and return them to France. Farage called it the largest Channel military operation since World War Two. The Conservatives explored similar plans but dropped them over legal and treaty concerns. Retired Navy commander Tom Sharpe said it "lacks quite a lot of substance."
