One of the funny* things about the Jenrick defection is his articles basically amount to "Reheated Thatcherism and bungs to pensioners have broken Britain, and that's why I'm joining the Reheated Thatcherism and Bungs to Pensioners Party".
Don't know if this sort of rhetoric has caught up with the fact that Reform's base are the most dependent on welfare of any party's

Take a look at The Telegraph's view on Trump. Every single 'columnist' (I use the term loosely) utterly wrong and totally disproven. Never read again.

The general failure - among politicians and media - to push back against this stuff is reprehensible.
Harry Cole of Sun interviews Connor Tomlinson - who advocates banning ethnic minority MPs from parliament
Tomlinson regrets sacrificing Suella Braverman but feels sure (on no evidence) she would sacrifice herself to remove the risk of Kemi Badenoch, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel & Shabana Mahmood!
