Reform UK has pledged to stop small-boat migrant crossings in the English Channel within its first 100 days in government. The party has outlined radical proposals to achieve this objective, including the potential abandonment of international human rights laws and a ban on illegal migrants seeking asylum.
Details of these plans emerged as part of a poll conducted by The Morning Poll, which sought public opinion on the feasibility of Reform's commitment. The publication noted that Reform has already presented its strategies for addressing the crossings.
Nigel Farage, a prominent figure associated with Reform, is expected to champion the pledge to end the crossings within the initial 100-day period of a Reform administration. The party's proposed measures aim to fundamentally alter the approach to immigration and asylum claims.
