Treachery and stupidity to the fore as Robert Jenrick defects to Reform | John Crace

omg I just read about this guy Jenrick and I'm like totally confused he was with Farage but then became part of another party? how does that even work? did he not care about being a part of the conservative party anymore? and what's up with this "resist the temptation" thing, sounds so fake like he was just trying to get out of trouble.

I'm low-key shook by Jenrick's move , like who does that? You'd think he'd be all about loyalty to Kemi Badenoch and the party, but I guess you never really know what people are thinking behind closed doors. The thing is, Reform Scotland just got a whole lot more interesting with Farage at the helm . Can't wait to see how this plays out!

lol just saw that Robert Jenrick ditched the Tories for Reform Scotland , and I'm like totally shook . Who knew he was secretly talking to Nigel Farage behind closed doors? It's like something out of a movie or something . But seriously, Jenrick's decision is a major blow to Kemi Badenoch and her party plans. I mean, who tries to negotiate with the enemy from within? And what's up with that resignation speech on his desk? Was he just waiting for the perfect moment to switch sides?

I'm also low-key impressed by Nigel Farage's move. He's like a master puppeteer, manipulating people into doing his bidding . But at the same time, it's kinda shady how Jenrick just threw away his loyalty and reputation for a quick payday . I guess this is what happens when you prioritize your own interests over party politics.

Anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see how Reform Scotland plays out with Farage at the helm . Will he actually deliver on his promises or just use them as a way to stay relevant? Only time will tell

Just dropped this chart showing the decline in UK party loyalty over the past 5 years :

Conservative Party: 75% (2019) to 55% (2024)
Reform Scotland: 0% (just formed!) to 30% (now!)

The data is sketchy, I know, but it's a wild ride! Farage's influence is on the rise, and Reform Scotland's growth rate is insane . The question is, how will they balance ambition with accountability?

Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch's 27% drop in party approval since Jenrick's defection is no joke . This whole thing stinks of corruption... or at least, perceived corruption .

Did you know that UK politicians have an average tenure of only 1 year & 9 months? That's the fastest turnover on record! It makes me wonder if all these backroom deals are just a natural progression of the system

Let's keep digging for more data, folks!

so like what just happened with Robert Jenrick, right? it's crazy how he just joined Reform Scotland after being kicked out of the Tories. i mean, i can kinda get why he'd wanna switch parties if they're not happy with him, but the way he did it is super shady . and now Kemi Badenoch is all like "bye Felicia" to Jenrick .

i'm also kinda surprised that Nigel Farage pulled off such a sneaky move behind closed doors. i mean, i know he's always been good at playing politics, but this takes the cake . it's not fair that Jenrick got caught up in his web of deceit .

anywayz, now we have to wonder what Reform Scotland is all about and how Nigel Farage plans to lead them . will they be able to make a difference? only time will tell .
