Coverage of Jenrick today basically amounts to sane-washing. He didn't criticise judges. He claimed there was a conspiracy by certain judges, who he had discovered and could number, to undermine British law and create open borders.

There’s a dormant London Centric Twitter account I set up and barely used, which still has all the default settings including notifications. Anyway this is the second time today it’s pushed a Tommy Robinson tweet at me. Given millions of Brits will have the app, god knows how many are getting this.
