“What happens if the French don’t agree, and Royal Marines attempt to land people on a beach?” An answer came there none. Reform’s plan to use the Royal Navy relies on resources already committed to existing operations. Reform plan to use our River Class OPVs, three are due to be retired in 2028, the other five are deployed globally, including the security of the Falklands. How are Reform going to balance our defence responsibilities - they still have no-one who can talk about it in detail, as this plan shows. Interested to see who owns the risk of any fatalities during interdiction of a fragile overloaded dinghy; are Royal Navy personnel expected to shoulder that? How easy is that to do at night? How is their plan different to what Border Force already do? That’s quite aside from how the Royal Navy are expected to forcibly return migrants to French ports, irrespective of whether France is prepared to take them. Do Reform expect the Royal Navy to force their way into French ports? This is classic Reform populism. Red meat to their base.
