Robert Jenrick has been condemned for stating that UK special forces are 'killing rather than capturing' terrorists to avoid releasing them under European laws.

Jenrick made this claim in a campaign video supporting his Conservative leadership bid, which has drawn backlash from Labour, a former Tory attorney general, and a former army officer.

Critics argue that his comments politicize the efforts of special forces and misrepresent the complexities involved in counter-terrorism operations.
