Chris Bryant: ‘Has Jenrick resigned because the Rwanda bill is crazy or because it isn’t crazy enough?’

In response to the home secretary’s statement today, Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant questioned James Cleverly on the status of immigration minister Robert Jenrick.

Sir Chris said: “Can you just tell us, has he resigned because he thinks that this policy doesn’t stand an earthly chance of working?

“Or has he resigned because he’s embarrassed that a British government would actually put ministers above the law? In other words, has he resigned because he thinks this policy is crazy or because he doesn’t think it’s crazy enough?”

Is Robert Jenrick the new Suella Braverman?
