Reform UK defends migrant return deal with French far-right National Rally

Reform UK confirms that its migrant return agreement with France's National Rally was ratified by party president Jordan Bardella, despite backlash in France. The deal, announced by Nigel Farage, contradicts Marine Le Pen's long-standing policy, raising questions about internal party coherence and sovereignty concerns. This cross-channel political arrangement could strain UK-France relations and signal shifting far-right cooperation ahead of elections.
