Farage proposes prosecuting charities aiding asylum seekers in UK

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage suggested in a US podcast that charities and volunteers helping asylum seekers reach the UK should face criminal prosecution, without naming specific groups. The statement follows sustained criticism from Reform figures of the RNLI's Channel rescue operations, which have faced intimidation. This escalates political rhetoric on immigration ahead of potential electoral contests, though no policy proposal has been formalized.
