Reform MP Sarah Pochin sparked outrage after mocking France’s refusal to let the UK use its navy to deport migrants — calling it a betrayal of sovereignty, then comparing it to France’s wartime stance. Her jab back to 1940 drew fire from Labour MPs and ex-Downing Street staff, who reminded her that French soldiers and resistance fighters gave their lives for Britain — including at Dunkirk. Meanwhile, Reform leader Nigel Farage backed the controversial “Operation Fortress” plan, likening it to Australia’s past policies — but France firmly rejected it as illegal. The fallout underscores how deeply divisive migration debates can be, especially when history gets dragged into the fray.
