Julius Caesar sought to establish power over the capital in order to bring about political reform he thought necessary to keep Rome a dominant power throughout the Mediterranean . To do this he needed to centralize the power within Rome itself and to bring the provinces under stronger Roman control . He did this by assuming dictatorial powers in order to affect these reforms throughout Rome and the provinces .
Another viewpoint:
He was forced to do so because his time as a magistrate had run out and he had lost his immunity from prosecution. His co-consul of 10 years before - Bibulus - had been waiting for this day so that he could prosecute him for impiety, which carried the death penalty. Caesar had asked for an extension of his magistracy and one legion to keep his immunity and have a bodyguard, but this was rejected by the Senate. Exposed, he had no option but to sieze control while he still had the legions from Gaul responsive to him.
Julius Caesar justifies his attack on the Gauls primarily by portraying them as a threat to Roman security and stability. He argues that their increasing power and potential for rebellion could endanger Roman territories. Additionally, he frames the conquest as a civilizing mission, claiming that the Romans are bringing order and culture to the Gauls, whom he depicts as barbaric. This narrative serves to legitimize his military campaigns and garner support from the Roman populace.

Perhaps, but there's no certainty. If they did try an invasion, it would only have been a quick raid as there are no known Gaulic settlements along the British coast. We do know that the Gauls had trade partners and allies in Britain because that was one of the reasons that Julius Caesar invaded Britain. He wanted to punish the coastal tribes for aiding the Gauls.
