Robert Jenrick posted his resignation letter for a job he doesn’t even have, and was mocked to oblivion – 17 top takedowns

Most of us have at times thought about quitting a job we hate, but Reform UK MP Robert Jenrick has taken things a step further by resigning from a job that he doesn’t even hold.

The ex-Tory is now the Treasury Spokesperson for Reform and has taken to Twitter to submit his so-called resignation letter, promising to give up his post as Chancellor of the Exchequer if he fails to achieve a pledge. A position, as if you didn’t know, that he doesn’t even hold.

Here’s the letter.

And in full.

Rather than the shockwaves that are usually created after such a high level resignation, it instead spawned a delicious wave of mockery.

To the comments!

Just another useless, performative stunt. Comes across as major attention seeking.

😂 Robert Jenrick has just submitted his resignation from a job he doesn’t have, to a PM who doesn’t exist, over a Budget he hasn’t delivered.

All to guarantee a tax cut before telling us what it costs or how he’ll pay for it.

Reform really has moved beyond opposition politics.… pic.twitter.com/4YfMShm966

It's like that old saying: don't resign from the job you have, resign from the job you want…

It’s very easy to resign from a position you don’t, and won’t, hold.

In other news, I’ve decided that I’ll relinquish the England captaincy if we don’t win the Euros in 2028.

I also resign from being King of Monaco, Superman, chief of the Sioux nation, Emperor of Atlantis, leader of the Paw Patrol, and other positions I don’t hold.

And there it is. The latest cringe offering from a man resigning as chancellor who isn’t a chancellor, about a budget that doesn’t exist, in a government that doesn’t govern. Jenrick you are an absolute fucking idiot.
