Met probes £37,500 donation to Robert Jenrick's leadership bid
Police are investigating a donation given to Robert Jenrick's Conservative leadership campaign in 2024. Investigation launched after referral from the UK Electoral Commission. This year Jenrick defected to Reform UK.
R1ch1e516Jenrick should never have survived his previous list of dodgy dealings. He only has because the powerful are allowed to continually flout rules the common man cannot🤷♀️
Paul Russell8It’s almost as if they were a bunch of grubby, unprincipled conmen, available for sale to anyone with a few thousand money laundered quid to chuck at them.
Jim 🔥7Surely not this Robert Jenrick? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Antifa, since I was born6Wasn't there a suggestion about £1 million being allegedly given to spaffer.🤔 I believe it was claimed a friendly billionaire gave both spaffer and farage that amount? Shouldn't there be an investigation into that?
🇵🇸🇿🇦🇨🇺🇨🇴🇮🇹🇪🇸🇬🇷🇮🇪🇻🇪🇲🇽🇦🇱🇳🇴5I hope to one day see Robert Jenrick behind bars, not least for the zero effort he put, as Sec of State for Housing, into “handling” the Building Safety crisis that ensued after Grenfell while finding time to scandalously/dishonestly sign off a development that saved the developer £millions.
Stuart Hemingway5Reform the Party that accepts any dodgy money…. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Fionna O’Leary43Two issues. 1/ DID the £37,500 of a £100k money actually came from the US company Innovyz. Innovyz was founded by Gary Klopfenstein, a US businessman who in 2024 pleaded guilty to committing wire fraud. 2/ SHOULD Jenrick, a qualified solicitor, have know this applying proper due diligence?
KD50s5Again, how come it has taken this long and what about Johnson, Gove, Mone et al & PPE. On a recent podcast a Scottish comic revealed Gove had explicitly admitted to her that the Tories were shysters, so what is preventing justice being seen to be done?
R A Turner (he/him)4This is a very good week.
The Met Police is investigating another Reform politician, Robert Jenrick, over donations made to his campaign when he was running to be Conservative leader.
planetmatt6If Honest Bob pulls a Farage and calls a by-election, can Binface stand in both constituencies?
neil02.bsky.social4So LBC thought its fair to air a Reform MP under investigation for illegal donations, to host a show defending his leader of charges of taking illegal donations. No conflict of interest here then.
kaybell27.bsky.social4Probably not a good idea for Reform to send out one dodgy MP under investigation for dubious activities to defend another.
Fraser Wylie3Honest Bob! Say it isn't so.
stvetype.bsky.social1Wasn't it Jenrick who overruled local planners to get his property developer friend speeded through the planning process thus saving 1000's in tax. Which his friend in return kindly donated to the tory party for fixing it for him. Who said you can't buy influence?
Rob Jacobs1So Farage & Jenrick have received money from 'unknown, possibly illegitimate sources.' Where does this money ORIGINATE from? Cottrell, this shady crypto character, gave the money to Farrage but where did he get it from? We know Gill took Russian money. I hope MI5 are all over this.
Max B 💙 🔶 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇪🇺12Surprising he's saying nothing about it on @lbc.co.uk right now. Surely, this is his opportunity to prove his innocence. Or is it anther establishment stitch up?
Gary Foskett7#LBC cares not a jot. He's currently doing 3 hours in the @mrjamesob.bsky.social slot. This is the guy who ordered the destruction of murals intended for children. Apart from being a complete charlatan he's a revolting far right fan of Farage - who is currently under investigation for 'donations'!
Voteformyniecesfuture2We are not surprised by this at all. They are all corrupt and milking the system for all its worth. Andy Burnham must look at political donations and close the loopholes.
Katieboo 2I'm now at the Brenda from Bristol stage.
"Police are investigating a donation that was given to [Jenricks] campaign.." Jenrick, lest we forget, admitted that as a Tory govt minister he deliberately helped a Tory donor avoid £45m in tax by rushing through a housing development.
Atul Haria (immigrant)5Jenrick: "Lawbreaking is out of control". www.bbc.com/news/article...
scousin.bsky.social3once a jenrick always a jenrick.
remimulegend.bsky.social1It really is something the amount of airtime our British MSM gave Reform Ltd considering they only have 7 MP's. Hopefully now the MSM is doing something resembling actual investigation into them, people may finally see that they're nothing but chancers who don't care about the working class.
Kevin Theobald1Who can forget ‘Brown Envelope Bobby’.
Dennis Patton1Prisons will be full with Bob, Dickie and Nige.
So Dodgy Bob Jenrick is now under investigation, AND there are now MORE reports about dodgy funding of Farage, Tice, and Reform…. JUST IMAGINE if this stuff was about Starmer and Labour…. 🤷🏻♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Lucy2Kinda annoyed we've all had to deal with these people while the police and the press sat on this stuff.
Barry Jones1I'm imagining Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg frantically running around the BBC studios looking for another story - ANY OTHER story - to report on apart from this.
Jon Gill1He's covering for James O'brien on LBC today. Hope he's rinsed by the callers.
