Robert Jenrick 'told Kemi Badenoch to kick Liz Truss out' of the Conservatives

Former Tory minister Robert Jenrick, now a Reform defector, told Sky News he had urged Secretary Kemi Badenoch to remove former prime minister Liz Truss from the Conservative Party after Truss’s 2024 mini‑budget—an unfunded tax‑cut package that spooked markets and led to her resignation after 44 days. Jenrick said Badenoch’s refusal was a key reason he left. He slammed the Conservative Party as unchanged, saying the same “arsonists” still control it, citing his loss to Badenoch in the party’s latest leadership race. The story notes Truss’s loss of her seat at the 2024 general election and her subsequent response on X, calling Jenrick’s remarks a “Trojan horse.”
