Conservative Party leadership candidate Robert Jenrick delivers a speech at Henry Jackson Society, Millbank Tower, central London, outlining his foreign and defence policy, October 25, 2024
KEMI BADENOCH was under pressure to sack Robert Jenrick after the shadow justice secretary made increasingly inflammatory remarks about the grooming gangs scandal.
