Reform UK, France's National Rally agree plan to stop small boat crossings
The memorandum would detain arrivals from France in Britain and return them to their home countries, while sharing border security costs.
- On Friday, French National Rally President Jordan Bardella and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage signed a 'memorandum of understanding' at the party's annual conference in Birmingham, pledging to return asylum seekers arriving in small boats to France.
- Bardella, hoping to become France's next Prime Minister, promised that an RN government would 'do everything in its power to ensure that France is no longer the gateway for illegal migration into the United Kingdom.'
- Farage hailed the pact as a 'genuine new Entente Cordiale,' detailing plans for the UK to intercept boats and for France to 'ordinarily accept' individuals for repatriation to their countries of origin.
- The approach differs from British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and French President Emmanuel Macron, who focus on strengthening existing cooperation; the UK recorded the lowest migrant boat crossings this summer since 2019.
- Although the memorandum is currently a political document, Bardella leads opinion polls ahead of France's presidential election next April, while Reform faces challenges from recent funding allegations and declining poll numbers.
