Bardella and Farage sign controversial migrant return deal at Reform conference

In Birmingham, England, Jordan Bardella of France's National Rally and Nigel Farage of Reform UK announced a deal to tackle illegal migration across the English Channel. The agreement allows the UK Navy to intercept small boats and return migrants to France, which would then repatriate them. This collaboration follows discussions between UK and French leaders on enhancing border control efforts. However, the announcement was marred by allegations of illegal donations to Reform UK, raising questions about the party's financial practices.
