Starmer: ‘Public just deserves something so much better’ says Robert Jenrick
THE country “deserves something so much better” than a succession of collapsed governments, according to Reform UK MP Robert Jenrick.
He told GB News: “This is a government that is collapsing before our very eyes. The government is in open revolt against the Prime Minister who now has no authority whatsoever.
“And what are people thinking whilst they’re watching this government turning in on itself so quickly, just like the last Conservative government did, people are worried about their bills, their energy prices, jobs going, immigration continuing to be out of control, crime, town centres being hollowed out, all the challenges that the country faces, and yet this government is just focused in on itself, on a failed Prime Minister who’s waiting to be shown the exit.
“We’ve got to move forward beyond this, because the public just deserves something so much better than having government after government collapse into chaos before their very eyes.”
He added: “Starmer looks like he’s going to be on the way out. We’re going to have a messy, chaotic Labour leadership contest that’s going to waste precious time when the country faces all of these challenges, and then, no doubt, he’ll be replaced by somebody who is just as inept, just as out of touch as he was, whether that’s Angela Rayner or Wes Streeting – who knows?
“Look, it’s not for me to speculate. All I can say is that I’ve just spent the weekend in my constituency in Newark, and the public are not talking about Peter Mandelson. They knew he was a bad man and that he shouldn’t have been made our premier ambassador in Washington.
“They just want a government that’s going to grip the country’s challenges. They’re sick of the country being in decline like it is at the moment, and they want to move forward and actually get this country back onto its feet again, with good jobs, with bills coming down, with immigration finally being tackled, and that is why Reform, the party that I’ve joined, has now got to focus on, how do we prepare for government?
“Because this could well lead to an early general election, and so Nigel, later today in Birmingham, is going to be setting out, how are we going to start selecting candidates for the general election. Good, talented people of stature and integrity, how are we going to build the top team so that, if we get into government, we can actually tackle these big challenges, get those good jobs, get the economy going again, finally stop the small boats.
“No messing around. And how can we have detailed, credible, comprehensive plans so that the public can have faith in us that is not going to be just the same failure as this government has been and, frankly, the last Conservative government.”
