Briefly

The mask has slipped': What have Jenrick and Farage said about each other in the past?
"Today I took forward a bill to stop the two-tier sentencing rules that come into force in just 18 days. While Nigel Farage swanned off to Cheltenham to forget his troubles."
"Why is Farage backing this policy? Has he cooked this up after one too many pints at his local? Has a joint its way into his usual pack of Marlboro Gold?"
"I call bullshit. You've spent the last 48 hours calling me a traitor' for not drawing attention to a leaked spreadsheet without special forces and MI6 officers' names on. But we're meant to believe this tweet attacking me as a traitor for having a Jewish wife & family was liked accidentally' by one of the team'. You must think we're all thick. No. The mask has slipped. Likes are private. You thought nobody would ever know. Unfortunately for you, the racist account who posted the tweet and could see the likes exposed you. Reform should give you the boot."
Robert Jenrick joined Reform UK after leaving the Conservatives and faces renewed scrutiny for prior public criticisms of Nigel Farage and Reform colleagues. Conservative campaigners circulated Jenrick's earlier remarks as political ammunition after his defection. The remarks include a March 2025 comment about Farage attending Cheltenham instead of opposing sentencing changes, a May 2025 attack mocking Farage’s motives and implying alcohol or drug use, an August 2025 repost linked to protests outside an asylum seeker hotel, and a July 2025 denunciation of Reform figures over a liked antisemitic tweet.
