  • Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has been sacked by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for "plotting to defect"
  • Badenoch says she had "clear, irrefutable evidence" that Jenrick was "plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible" to her party
  • A senior Conservative MP close to Badenoch tells the BBC they had "incontrovertible evidence" that Jenrick was about to defect including a "full speech and media plan"
  • Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says while no deal has been signed, he had conversations with Jenrick and plans to call him today
  • Henry Zeffman analysis: If Jenrick was - or is - planning to defect to Reform, that would be a crushing blow to the Conservative Party
 
Given that I am well informed within the Conservative Party, the departure of Robert Jenrick has not come as any surprise to me.
As a result of the latest developments my focus and efforts need to be diverted towards my party rather than HOL.
An arduous and challenging day lies ahead as I connect with a plethora of Conservatives and beyond.

i think you voted for him in the leadership race. Looks like a merger will arise.

One day hopefully you will come to realise what we have been saying for a long time.

The Conservatives killed themselves a long time ago when they took the social liberal route.

In response to your message, indeed I voted for Robert Jenrick and never considered voting for Kemi Badenoch.
I shall now have to concentrate on political matters !

Like providing a lifeboat and playing the ukelele whilst the ship lists desperately in choppy waters.
 
This is of course significant news, which will take time to digest and consider the ramifications. I just wonder, given the way the tide is beginning to turn, whether he might now change his mind, stay and challenge Badenoch. They are both awful so neither would ever get my vote.

Given what’s happening in the USA I am beginning to think that with the fight back against authoritarianism gathering pace in the USA, combined with Trump’s obvious physical and mental decline, that right wing populist politics will start to be regarded with even more suspicion everywhere than it is currently by people like me. If the mood changes in the general population, and Reform, and Farage, begin to be regarded as Trump clones, even if lighter versions, then they could already have peaked.

Jenrick joining Reform at this moment could be the end of his political career. Not the making of it.

Members of the Tory right are not the Tory Party. Those that join Reform will not be the people who have turned the Tories into what it is. They can now pursue policies that they could not previously.

Reform will only make a proper government with some experience in their ranks.

Consider the alternatives? Yeah. Vote Reform.

aka Consider Reform? Yeah. Vote Alternatives
 
Wisbech as usual has the wrong take.

If his wealth was based upon how his political predictions pan out, he'd be one of his benefit tenants that he has such contempt for.

Who said he was planning to join Reform? He might be intending to join Your Party or the Greens - perhaps he supports the legalisation of drugs?
