Kemi Badenoch has announced she has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet over a ‘secret defection plot.’
In a video shared on Tuesday morning, the Tory leader said Jenrick had had the whip removed and his party membership was suspended “with immediate effect.”
Badenoch said the action was taken after she was “presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his Shadow Cabinet colleagues and the wider Conservative Party.”
She added: “The British public are tired of political psychodrama and so am I. They saw too much of it in the last government, they’re seeing too much of it in THIS government.
“I will not repeat those mistakes.”
