Jenrick was also the man who ordered the painting over of Disney murals in a children's asylum centre. A real peach.
Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

Many people don’t realize that Big Box retailers (Amazon, Barnes and Noble) take a large percentage of what would otherwise go to small independent presses, literally leaving them with pennies.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.
Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.
Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.
