Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and Home Affairs spokesperson Zia Yusuf are speaking at London at a press conference for the party.
It comes as the party announced its plans to launch "the largest military operation in the English Channel since World War Two" to stop small boat arrivals from France.
A Nigel Farage-led government would send the Royal Navy into the channel to intercept all small boats and return them to France or Belgium.
Farage announced in July his resignation as MP for Clacton – triggering a by-election which he will stand in.
