Badenoch sacks Jenrick over 'irrefutable evidence' he was going 'to defect' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"I have sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership with immediate effect. I was presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his shadow cabinet colleagues and the wider Conservative Party."
"I never reveal private conversations of anybody, which is why when people like Malcolm came to me to talk, and he was a frontbencher, nothing ever leaked. I'm going to say that I've had conversations with a number of very senior Conservatives over the course of the last week, over the course of the last month."
Kemi Badenoch removed Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, withdrew the whip and suspended his party membership immediately. Badenoch said she had clear, irrefutable evidence that Jenrick had been secretly plotting to defect in a manner designed to cause maximum damage to his colleagues and to the Conservative Party. Badenoch said the British public are tired of political psychodrama and vowed not to repeat past mistakes. Nigel Farage said he was surprised the news had emerged and said he has held conversations with a number of very senior Conservatives in recent weeks.
