Robert Jenrick teased a massive scandal involving Rachel Reeves, and entered the self-own hall of fame – 24 scathing takedowns

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will be hard at work with her Treasury team today, as they cross the Ts, dot the Is and double-check the calculations for tomorrow’s Spring Statement.

However, her attention may have been briefly diverted by the disgraced former Tory Robert Jenrick – the guy who gave the order for an asylum centre to paint over murals which were supposed to make the place a little less bleak for the children staying there.

Think about this for a moment;
Removing these murals won’t deter asylum seekers, it won’t make children more responsive, & it won’t save money.

So Jenrick has done this out of spite, & because HE CAN.

He was later dismissed from his position as Housing Secretary for unlawfully approving a housing development worth £1 billion for his friend, the pornography magnate Richard Desmond.

On Sunday night, Jenrick tried a hook and tease on X.

Many people asked why he didn’t just reveal the scandal, instead of teasing it for attention.

Who are you a news outlet or an MP? If you have important information why should we have to wait?

Why the sensationalism? Is it for clicks? I’ll not be hanging about your timeline waiting for your big expose, if it’s important use the channels you were elected to access, if…

If you really do have valid information on Reeves, you should be airing it in Parliament or any other forum where your claims can be properly scrutinised.
Not "announcing" on X like some little Tommy Robinson wannabe.

The ploy massively backfired, with the quotes and comments largely devoted to taking the piss out of the recent Reform Defector.

Did she intervene in the planning application of a rich donor to her political party to help him save up to £50 million in a decision that was later ruled unlawful?
