"Reform needs to be looking at the type of person they're taking in," says Kemi Badenoch, who kept Robert Jenrick in her own Shadow Cabinet despite him repeatedly making racist and inflammatory statements, on issues completely outside of his own brief

Jenrick was plotting to defect??? SHUT. UP.

This is more shocking than when George S Michael came out.

This is not going to work. Jenrick and Farage are going to kill each other. It's going to be very funny.

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.

If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

Quietly intrigued as to how Jenrick thought he'd burnish is own career in the Nigel Farage Show, starring Nigel Farage as Nigel Farage

Jenrick "I am a nasty racist grifting useless piece of shit" Farage "welcome aboard".

This is the bottom line.

honestly I think it's a collective failure that any of us know who Robert Jenrick is. this is the symptom of a sick society
