France hits out at Reform UK plan to return migrants using Navy

France has hit out at a Reform UK plan to return migrant boats using the Navy, saying the proposals would violate its sovereignty and breach international law.

Farage said he was confident his party's policy of "securely picking people up and safely taking them back to France" would fall within "other conventions of international law".

Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said Reform's plan was not "credible", adding: "They can't answer the question how they would disembark immigrants back in France if the French don't agree".
