Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, has announced a proposed migration pact with France's National Rally party. The agreement, unveiled on social media, stipulates that if both parties come to power, the UK would intercept migrant boats crossing the English Channel and return the migrants to France. This policy aims to deter illegal crossings and address the ongoing Channel migration crisis. The pact represents a significant alignment between the two right-wing parties on immigration enforcement, though it remains contingent on electoral outcomes in both countries. The announcement has generated immediate political discussion regarding the feasibility and legality of such cross-border cooperation.
