via Associated PressA Reform UK MP has been condemned after she attacked France's record in World War 2 amid a row over her party's plan to turn back small boats crossing the English Channel.
Sarah Pochin hit out after the French government said it would be a "violation" of the country's sovereignty as well as maritime and international law.
Responding on X, Pochin said: "Pity the French did not show the same resolve in defending their sovereignty in June 1940."
Nigel Farage said the plan did not break international law because they would be carrying out a "humanitarian" mission.
