Reform UK has promised to use the Royal Navy to make the Channel "impenetrable" to small-boat migrants. Reform UK will respond by launching the largest military operation in the English Channel since World War Two. "Nigel Farage will order His Majesty's Royal Navy to ensure that not a single unauthorised vessel crossing the English Channel makes it to the shores of the United Kingdom. As of June, the treaty had seen 921 small-boat migrants returned. In contrast, tens of thousands of migrants returned from Ceuta to Morocco within hours of arriving last week.
