🚨 REFORM WILL STOP THE BOATS: We will immediately declare a national security emergency. More than 200,000 illegal migrants have crossed the Channel over the last eight years. Illegal migrants are being rewarded with taxpayer-funded hotels and support, while the safety and security of the British public is being put at risk every single day. Reform UK will instruct the Royal Navy to ensure that not a single unauthorised vessel reaches the United Kingdom. Integrated surveillance systems will ensure illegal migrant crossings are detected, intercepted by UK authorities and returned to France. This is the humane way to deal with this crisis. It will prevent further deaths - more than 170 have died attempting to cross the Channel. This can and must be done. Reform will end this madness and stop the boats once and for all.

Sky News reports that a 28-year-old Palestinian woman, six months pregnant and suffering severe internal bleeding, was being transported from Qaryout in the occupied West Bank to Rafidia Surgical Hospital in Nablus when Israeli soldiers stopped her ambulance at the Awarta checkpoint. Video shows Israeli forces detained the ambulance crew for more than 30 minutes, subjected the bleeding, critically ill woman to a physical search, and ordered the driver to turn off the engine, cutting power to the vehicle’s onboard medical equipment. During the forced delay, a nurse was forced to deliver the fetus stillborn inside the stranded ambulance. The woman was eventually allowed to proceed to the hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery and saved her life. The baby could not be saved.
