Nigel Farage has long been a staunch advocate for strong borders and curbing migration.
However, it was the Reform UK leader’s turn to face border controls when he was refused entry to the Chagos Islands this weekend after travelling nearly 6,000 miles to the restricted military base.
In a video shared on social media, Mr Farage said he was on a mission to bring aid to support four Chagossians aiming to colonise a deserted island.
Mr Farage, 51, had attempted to arrive by boat at Ile du Coin from the Maldives, 300 miles away, on Saturday.
