Nigel Farage has denied that a Reform UK government would order troops to use lethal force on migrant boats in the Channel. Hours earlier, Reform MP Robert Jenrick told TalkTV the Royal Marines could fire if needed. Farage said Jenrick was misconstrued and meant soldiers could respond if fired upon. Labour defence minister Luke Pollard called the idea disgusting, illegal and abhorrent to British values.
