Tory leader Kemi Badenoch says she has sacked Robert Jenrick as shadow justice secretary and kicked him out of the party due to ‘irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible’ to his Conservative colleagues.
Ms Badenoch wrote on X: ‘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.
‘The British public are tired of political psychodrama and so am I. They saw too much of it in the last government, they’re seeing too much of it in THIS government. I will not repeat those mistakes.’
Now it’s time to have your say in the Daily Mail’s latest poll – do you agree with Ms Badenoch’s claim that Brits are ‘tired of political psychodrama’?
In yesterday’s poll, Mail readers were asked: ‘Should Labour scrap digital IDs entirely, after axing mandatory plan for workers in latest U-turn?‘ Out of more than 13,000 votes, some 89% of you said ‘yes’ and 11% said ‘no’.
