On manoeuvres.

The question is for what - tory leadership or London mayor.

It was all a bit performative, I suppose - and politics seems to be becoming that, these days, following a less than desirable American path - but I was fundamentally not opposed to the principle until this bit:

"the same with bike theft, phone theft, tool theft, shoplifting, drugs in town centres, weird Turkish barber shops".

Now the various forms of theft I can see... but where the hell does he think he's going when he drops into 'Turkish barber shops' in that list?

it does have a more mayoral feel but I suspect he's riding both horses at the minute

Seen elsewhere

"Interesting Fact of the Day:  If Robert Jenrick were to catch 50 fare dodgers a day, recouping £2.90 each time for the taxpayer, and he did this as his full-time job, it would take him well over 1,000 years to recoup the amount the taxpayer lost when he helped a major Tory donor avoid a £45m tax bill back in 2020."

"Jenrick was repeatedly told to fuckoff. He then left the house...". Richard Ayoade, HIGNFY.
Self-important, jumped-up little twat.
