Nigel Farage has claimed Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron were "colluding" to support the illegal migration invasion of the country as he outlines his party's plan to tackle the crisis if elected in the next General Election.
The Reform UK Leader is announcing the plan at an aircraft hangar in Oxfordshire with Zia Yusuf as he unveils the ways his party will crack down on small boat crossings.
He announced that the public had enough of the issue, saying: "We need to leave the EHCR ... no ifs, no buts".
Mr Farage had earlier said that "despite the £800million we've given the French, even as we speak, there are French naval vessels escorting these (small) boats across to a 12 mile line".
He said from there "they will be picked up by the border force or our volunteers at the RNLI when the border force can't cope".
“And now what happens is the French give them all life jackets and when they’re picked up by the border force, the border force give the life jackets back to the French so they can re-use them on the next journey," Mr Farage added.
“We are literally witnessing two governments colluding in their support of criminal activity.”
Mr Farage warned those attempting to cross the Channel, if Reform win the next election, "you will be detained and deported and never, ever allowed to stay, period".
"That is our big message from today," he declared.

The Reform UK Leader told media his party was "opposed to two-tier justice within our country".

Women and children would be detained under Reform UK's migration policy
Nigel Farage confirmed that women and children would also be detained and deported as part of his party's plan to tackle illegal migration.
But, Mr Farage said that unaccompanied children proved a "much more complicated" issue.
He told media: "Women and children, everybody on arrival will be detained, and I've accepted already that how we deal with children is a much more complicated and difficult issue."
"But the people protesting outside the Bell Hotel and at 30 migrant hotels on Saturday around the country weren't doing it because of the few children coming," Mr Farage said.
"They were doing it because over three quarters of those that come are young undocumented males who come from cultures that are entirely different from ours, who are very unlikely to assimilate into our community, who pose a risk to women and girls, and some of them, I’m afraid, pose a risk to national security.”

The naming of Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's 'Your Party' will be "chosen" by its members in a newsletter which claimed the "far right is on the rise".
"When politicians scapegoat migrants instead of boosting working class living standards, and when our communities are under attack, the need for a people-powered movement has never been greater," the party said.
"Across the country, ordinary people are standing up — against racism, against division, and for dignity and peace.
"That spirit of everyday decency and resistance is exactly what Your Party is about."
The party further added: "Like everything else about the party, its name will be chosen by the people who make it: the members".
"It should be instantly recognisable, rooted in our values, have a broad appeal and speak to the hope we carry in common."

Nigel Farage said a Reform UK Government would aim to negotiate with the Taliban to accept the return of migrants who have entered the UK illegally.
Zia Yusuf announced the plan, telling the BBC: "We have a £2billion budget to offer countries".
The party’s head of department of government efficiency said the figure was "certainly not a drop in the ocean" for countries like Afghanistan and Eritrea which are two countries "at the top of the list of boat crossings".
Mr Yusuf said it was "quite reasonable" that the country would pay the Taliban in order to secure an agreement.
"Again, British people have had enough of their goodwill being taken advantage of," he said.
“The notion that Afghans top the list in terms of foreign nationals crossing the Channel illegally, the majority of them fighting-age males, into this country while this country gives £151million in aid to Afghanistan? We don’t think that’s fair.”
