A government minister has accused US defence secretary Pete Hegseth of "lacking in class" after he controversially used a D-Day memorial event to criticise Europe over what he called an "invasion" of migrants.
Baroness Jacqui Smith, the skills minister and a former home secretary, said that Mr Hegseth was wrong to make such a claim – especially at a commemoration marking the 82nd anniversary of the Normandy landings.
