  • Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and National Rally President Jordan Bardella signed a memorandum committing their parties to jointly combat illegal immigration if they enter government.
  • Bardella said a National Rally government would seek to stop migrant boats crossing the English Channel from France to England if it wins the 2027 presidential election.
  • Reform UK has fallen to third in a recent poll amid internal disputes and police investigations into alleged irregular party financing, while two officials resigned at the party’s conference.

Nigel Farage and Jordan Bardella put a giant copy of their new agreement on stage at Reform UK’s annual conference, presenting a joint pledge to fight illegal immigration if their parties reach power in Britain and France.

The Reform UK leader and the president of France’s National Rally signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday near Birmingham. Bardella, whose party is led by Marine Le Pen, said in an earlier speech that a National Rally government would do everything possible to stop migrant boats crossing the English Channel from France to England if it wins the 2027 presidential election.

· Jordan BardellaBardella described the future he said Britain and France could build if their respective parties entered government.

Bardella said that if “the people” came to govern in Britain and France, the two countries would “together shape Europe’s future.” He praised Farage for returning “common sense” to British politics and said that when this happens, “the establishment trembles.”

The agreement comes as the two parties face different political trajectories. National Rally currently leads election polling in France, while Reform UK’s rapid rise has stalled and reversed in recent months amid internal disputes and allegations of irregular financing. A More in Common poll released Tuesday placed Farage’s party third on 22% support, behind the governing Labour Party on 26% and the Conservatives on 23%.

More than 8,000 delegates are attending the three-day conference, described as the largest in Reform UK’s history. The event has also been overshadowed by controversy: two party officials resigned on Friday amid fresh allegations of irregular financing, which police are investigating.
