- Ms White shared an extended version of the clip, clarifying her actual statement was, “I don’t care who will stop the boats… my number one priority is to stop those boats”.
- She accused Reform UK of deliberately twisting her words to mislead the public and called for them to withdraw their false claim and apologise.
- The incident coincided with a busy day for Channel crossings, with migrants seen attempting to reach the UK from Equihen-Plage, France.
