Nigel Farage announces that a Reform government would pardon British veterans convicted of crimes linked to the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Mr Farage will launch a veterans wing of the party at an event in Westminster this morning. Mr Farage – who came under fire for missing a vote on the subject last week – will argue that British forces were responsible for a small proportion of deaths during the 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland.

A policy document seen by The Telegraph states: "British forces were responsible for a small proportion of deaths during the Conflict in Ireland from 1969-1993 (approximately 11 per cent), and yet the vast majority of the 30 potential inquests into Troubles related killings and around 600 civil cases in the pipeline involve the actions of lawfully deployed British security forces."

It comes after MPs voted on an order to remove protections giving immunity from prosecution to anyone accused of crimes during the Troubles if they provide information to a truth recovery body.
