KEMI BADENOCH was under pressure to sack Robert Jenrick after the shadow justice secretary made increasingly inflammatory remarks about the grooming gangs scandal.

The Liberal Democrats led calls for Jenrick’s departure after he claimed Britain was “importing hundreds of thousands of people from alien cultures, who possess mediaeval attitudes towards women.” 

Deputy leader Daisy Cooper 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.
