‘Britain is on the brink’: Jenrick defects to Reform in day of Westminster chaos | The Daily T

Robert Jenrick has defected to Reform UK after his dramatic sacking earlier today. During a press conference with Nigel Farage, Jenrick accused the Conservatives of “breaking Britain” in his first speech as a Reform MP. Kemi Badenoch pulled a political U-turn the Prime Minister would be proud of when she announced Robert Jenrick had been fired from the Tory party after saying she had “irrefutable evidence” he was plotting a defection to Reform UK. Jenrick has long been rumoured to be eyeing a move to Farage’s party, and now his political career has reached a dramatic flashpoint. Camilla and Tim dissect the events as they look at the evidence compiled by the Tories, the Reform UK leader’s denial of any “plot,” and what this massive political drama means for the future of the Tory party and Reform UK. Plus, did Camilla’s weekend column predicting the defection play a part? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/customer/subscribe/digitalsub/3for1/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_pvid_conversion-subscription_editorial-iniative_03-22_EGW-13_organic_youtube ► Get the latest headlines: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ► Sign up to the Telegraph's free new daily newsletter, From the Editor, bringing you the latest news, features and analysis from the Telegraph newsroom: https://telegraph.co.uk/customer/secure/newsletter/from-the-editor/ RobertJenrick, ReformUK, NigelFarage, Tories, ConservativeParty, UKPolitics, Westminster, PoliticalDrama, ToryCrisis, BritishPolitics, KemiBadenoch, PartyDefection, BreakingBritain, RightWingPolitics, ReformSurge, PoliticalPodcast, PoliticsNews, UKNews, PowerShift, LeadershipCrisis
