Politics nick robinson Robert jenrick
Nick Robinson was taking zero nonsense from Robert Jenrick and had people everywhere cheering him on
To the studios of the Today programme where presenter Nick Robinson had the pleasure of interviewing Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick.
Well, we say interviewing, but Jenrick appeared keener to just go on and on – and on. So much so that Robinson felt the need to (briefly) call a halt to proceedings and we’re glad he did because what happened next was superlative stuff.
Nick Robinson takes no shit from Robert Jenrick(Reform MP):
Robert Jenrick: You just read out a pre-scripted final question?
Nick Robinson: There's no such question on the paper, there's a quote from Zia Yusuf(Reform)

“It does suit you and Nigel Farage to change the subject nationally from the fact that Mr Farage took a vast donation of £5 million from someone living abroad and he wishes to connect that with his security when in fact it has nothing to do with it at all, it’s about a breach of parliamentary rules.”
More of this sort of thing please, people.
Must listen https://t.co/FDp7CyCB8N

Imagine being in a party that contains Yusuf, Tice, Farage, Braverman & Anderson and being the worst of the bunch its like he's won the race to the bottom & is proud of it.
