"Our special forces are killing rather than capturing terrorists because our lawyers tell us that if they are caught, the European court will set them free."
Robert Edward Jenrick is a British politician who has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Newark since the 2014 by-election. Elected as a member of the Conservative Party, he joined Reform UK in January 2026.
"I have been very critical of police in the past, particularly around the attitude of some police forces to the protests we saw since [the Hamas attack on Israel on] 7 October [2023]. I thought it was quite wrong that somebody could shout Allahu Akbar on the streets of London and not be immediately arrested; project genocidal chants on to Big Ben and not be immediately arrested. That attitude is wrong and Ill always call out the police for it."
Robert Jenrick"I have sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership with immediate effect. I was presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his shadow cabinet colleagues and the wider Conservative party. The British public are tired of political psychodrama and so am I. They saw too much of it in the last government, theyre seeing too much of it in THIS government. I will not repeat those mistakes."
Robert Jenrick"We need to make Reform redundant by restoring the Conservatives credibility on immigration and exposing Reforms fantasy economics."
Robert Jenrick"Reform is not the answer at this election. Their plans are not based in reality. Cut £50 billion a year from public services? Independent observers have explained that the sums dont add up."
Robert Jenrick"I want this country to be the most welcoming country in the world for Israelis and for the Jewish community. And a small thing that I fought for when I was the immigration minister was to ensure that every Israeli citizen could enter our country through the e-gate, through the easy access. So that at every airport and point of entry to our great country there is the Star of David there as a symbol that we support Israel, we stand with Israel. We are friends and allies of Israel, and Israelis are welcome in our country."
Robert Jenrick"Because whether its Labour, Reform, or the Lib Dems – votes for these pie-in-the-sky parties is a vote for La La Land fantasy politics which will only take the country backwards. And we cannot afford that."
