Nigel #Farage has held his first press conference in months as he launched his party's new policy to tackle small boat arrivals, if it formed the next government. It would see the Royal Navy intercepting boats carrying migrants and return them "under escort" to France or Belgium. Reform's opponents have branded the plan unworkable, with the #Tories saying the policy is not credible. But with #NigelFarage’s approval rating collapsing by 10 points in a fortnight, and #Reform UK losing ground in recent elections to #Labour and #Restore, will this announcement help win back Reform's lost voters? Or is it more about distracting people from talking about Farage's finances? Mhari Aurora is joined by Alain Tolhurst, chief reporter at #Politics Home, to discuss how significant this policy announcement is.
