Jenrick’s incredible journey – from self-centred halfwit to self-centred halfwit.
Reform’s latest defector from the Tories is a politician whose eye has only ever been on his own ambition.

Indeed. The cult of savviness once again just leading to useless fatalism.
There was a lot of "aah but normal people won't see that and if they take away anything they'll just see Reform being more professional." I think if it were a decade ago...maybe? But even if it doesn't "matter to normal people" its obviously something you should point out, it's blatant hypocrisy!
The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

Robert Jenrick is developing an incredible habit of jumping onto a bandwagon shortly before it crashes. First as a Cameronite, then about four iterations of conservatism, as they crash out of gov and below 20% in the polls. And now he’s jump aboard Reform…

Mel Stride: has the job he thinks should have been given. Priti Patel: held the job he thinks he deserved in government.
Absolutely jaw-dropping stuff from Robert Jenrick, who says his former party "betrayed" its voters and members, accuses his former Tory MP colleagues of being "in denial" or "dishonest", and picks out Mel Stride and Priti Patel for attacks on their records

Key question for Farage. There’s nothing new, reforming or anti-establishment about Reform.
Exactly the same people, corruption, uselessness and racism just sidling over to the Reform/Tory recycling bin. And he’ll never fix the mess the Tories made because they made it for Farage. He is the mess.

Sky's Rob Powell asks Nigel Farage that, given Robert Jenrick is the 7th person to have served in Boris Johnson's government to defect to Reform, how can his party be "a new, reforming force" when it is "bringing in so many people who caused the mess that you're trying to clean up"

Could Reform be any more of a bin for dodgy and disgraced Tories?
Who’s next… Johnson? Gove? Mogg?
Whoever is falling for this rebrand needs to give their head a wobble.

The only questio about 'defectors' to Farage is: "Were they lying before or are they lying now?"
The answer, invariably, is "Both".

Badenoch driving the most troublesome rat off her sinking ship, ideally to go and plague Farage with competing ambition, is not the worst move.

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.
If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

Funny how Robert Jenrick, Reform’s latest signing, says “Britain is in decline” ,considering he helped run it as a Tory minister under May, Johnson,Truss &Sunak.
At this point, Reform looks less like a fresh start and more like a reunion tour for the people who caused the decline in the first place.

"The flag acts as a warning sign – a silent message. It makes you more vigilant and also, every time you go into a house with a flag, you have to prepare emotionally for the possibility of racism or rejection," says Neomi Bennett.

Farage &Tice would never have let a young Zahawi into the country as an Iraqi refugee

Zahawi is very much part of that ‘defunct brand’. He doesn’t get to saunter off to another party and claim his Tory grubbiness gets left behind. Oh no, Mr Zahawi, the stink of corruption and political failure follows you wherever you go. Reform already reeks of it.
