Tom Tugendhat, a candidate for Conservative Party leadership, expressed his distress over rival Robert Jenrick's use of footage featuring a soldier he served with in Afghanistan, who died shortly after the footage was taken. Jenrick's controversial campaign video claims that UK special forces are 'killing rather than capturing' terrorists due to fears of detainees being released by the European Court of Human Rights. Tugendhat criticized the video, stating it unfairly levels accusations against the deceased soldier who cannot defend himself. He emphasized that such footage of special forces should not be used in operations and called for Jenrick to refrain from commenting on military matters he does not understand. The incident has drawn backlash from other party members, including James Cleverly, who defended the military's adherence to international law. As the leadership candidates prepare for their final speeches at the Conservative conference, Tugendhat's remarks highlight the tensions surrounding Jenrick's statements.
