At the 2026 Reform party conference, Farage and Jordan Bardella appeared on stage holding a comedy-sized memorandum both had signed. It stated that under a Reform government in the UK and a National Rally leadership in France, it would accept all migrants deported from British shores. A Reform Britain would intercept migrants boats launched from the French coast, it read, and France would return these people to their home countries. But the English version, signed by Farage, included a line claiming: "France will ordinarily accept these persons", which was missing from the one signed by Bardella.
