Jenrick accused of spreading doctored small boats recording of Labour MP

Jenrick accused of spreading doctored small boats recording of Labour MP. A Labour minister demanded an apology from Reform UK after the party shared what she said was a misleadingly edited audio clip about her stance on migrant boat crossings. Reform UK posted a clip involving newly appointed Immigration Minister Jo White, the Bassetlaw MP, which appeared to suggest she told constituents last year: “I don't care if we stop the boats.” White, who replaced Mike Tapp as migration minister, released an extended version on social media in which she said stopping the boats was her “number one priority.” She accused Robert Jenrick of spreading a false account, arguing the recording was twisted to mislead the public and called for Reform to withdraw and apologize. The dispute unfolded amid Channel crossings attempts, including activity near Equihen-Plage and France’s efforts to rescue people at sea.
