Reform UK proposes immigration spot checks at Irish border with fines up to £10,000

Reform UK has announced a policy to conduct immigration spot checks at the Irish border, with fines up to £10,000 for non-compliance. The proposal, framed by MP Danny Druger as 'not a border check', signals a potential shift in UK immigration enforcement rhetoric. The plan's feasibility and legal implications remain unclear, but it could impact UK-Ireland relations and domestic political dynamics.
