"It's quite clear that Robert Jenrick tells a lot of lies and you can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. This is a man who was asked yesterday morning, Are you going to defect?' And he said never' to the chief whip. People from Reform and other Conservative party members have been bringing stuff to me about the actions he had been doing to undermine the party, and I kept giving him a chance."
"Badenoch's comments came after a tumultuous day in Westminster that began with the Tory leader announcing by social media video that she was removing Jenrick from her shadow cabinet after discovering his plans. Jenrick announced the move himself at a press conference five hours later, accusing the Conservative party of having broken Britain, and taking aim at MPs with whom he was working in the shadow cabinet just hours earlier."
