Cooper: Badenoch should sack Jenrick as shadow justice secretary for "shameless" comments

8 Jan 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Robert Jenrick defending his comments on "people from alien cultures" on the Today Programme, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

"Robert Jenrick's attempt to exploit this appalling scandal for his own political gain is completely shameless. He didn't lift a finger to help the victims when a minister, now he's jumping on the bandwagon and acting like a pound shop Farage.

"Kemi Badenoch should sack him as shadow justice secretary and condemn his divisive comments, instead of letting him run a leadership campaign under her nose."
