Moment Robert Jenrick humiliates BBC live on air with one brutal remark
Robert Jenrick has launched a humiliating attack on the BBC after being challenged over concerns surrounding Reform UK's candidate vetting procedures. The MP for Newark appeared on BBC Radio 4 just days after ITV revealed it conducted a year-long undercover investigation into the party, which led to the suspension of councillors accused of expressing racist, sexist or extremist views. The investigation recorded Alan Feeney, deputy mayor of Solihull, referring to Asian homeowners as "parasites". It also revealed that an undercover reporter was advised by a local party chairman to delete social media posts supporting far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
