Jenrick should close X, switch off GB News, put down the Daily Mail and leave his gated community.
He'll meet 100s of ordinary people living their lives and countless small acts of kindness and thoughtfulness.
A million miles from his vision of a broken country.

Glad Jenrick has been booted out in disgrace, rather than being able to saunter over to Reform whenever he felt it would benefit him most.
But honest to god. These dismal, dismal people.
All conniving to screw the county over for their own power and enrichment.
Repulsively corrupt and inadequate.

BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.
She says she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect" to Reform
