And you should be bothered that a chancer like Jenrick is put anywhere near a Ministerial position. |

Steve Kinnock did the same a while back. It is one of these actions that in reality poses very little risk. But if we all started doing it then the roads would be gridlocked.
Has someone with four homes his expertise in housing would be missed by the government.

Robert Jenrick claimed £100,000 expenses for ‘third home’
A cabinet minister accused of breaching the lockdown faces fresh questions over his housing portfolio as he has charged taxpayers more than £100,000 for a constituency home that he appears to use only rarely.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8211957/Jenrick-faces-questions-100k-taxpayer-bill-constituency-home-living-130-miles-away.htmlThe minister told the BBC last week that he understood the plight of families crammed into small flats during the lockdown and the need to keep local parks open. He said: 'I am very aware of how difficult this is already. 'I am a father of young children. I know what it's like to have a family cooped up...' But Tory MPs reacted in fury last night to the comments. One backbencher said: 'Jenrick's position was already pretty dire, to be honest. 'But to go on the radio and claim you understand what it's like to be cooped up is an insult to my constituents who are enduring the lockdown in small flats. 'Whether his family were already in that country pile of his or still in his London home, he can't possibly say that. 'He really has to go.' Another Tory MP said: 'This really is stretching the definition of cooped up to farcical levels.'

Jenrick doesn't seem to have many friends amongst his fellow Torys. He must have upset a few in the past somehow? Maybe he's not impressed too many MPs whose constituents are at present cooped up in small flats surrounded by cladding. 'Jenrick assumed office as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government in July 2019. His response to the national crisis with regard to housing safety following the Grenfell tragedy has been criticised as demonstrating a misunderstanding of the issue, alongside his reluctance to engage with representatives of the many thousands of British citizens whose lives remain at risk. His approach thus far, including "naming and shaming" has been seen as lacking robustness and ineffective. Jenrick has failed to deliver on promises and has not taken any concrete action. There have been eight significant fires since Grenfell, including the Bolton Cube. Thousands of affected residents continue to face life changing financial burdens and their lives remain at risk'.

In January, the papers began reporting that Esther McVey, who by that point had been the second-ranked minister in the housing ministry for all of five months, was clashing with the secretary of state, Robert Jenrick, over how to tackle the housing crisis. McVey, the MP for Tatton, who has always made much of being a working-class Tory, wanted to put more money into social housing, on the grounds it would appeal to new Tory voters from backgrounds like her own. Jenrick, who knows a lot about houses because, by his early 30s, he already owned three of them, thought it more important that the party focus all its attention and scarce housing budget on boosting owner occupation, ostensibly on the grounds that this had worked in the 1980s.
This reveals how Jenrick views the job of housing secretary. If he thought it was to ensure that the people of this country were adequately and securely housed, then he’d be forced to reckon with the fact that, after 40 years in which governments have waited patiently for the market to provide, it was clearly not going to do it. He’d need to recognise that this country only ever built enough homes in the right places when the state was a major contributor to housing supply. He’d note that preventing councils from building had not led, ultimately, to a wealthy paradise in which everyone owned their own home, but that a growing and ageing share of the population was stuck in the over-priced, under-regulated and insecure private rental sector. And he’d be forced to conclude that, just maybe, it was time to try something different.
But Jenrick hasn’t done any of that, which rather suggests that either he doesn’t understand his brief or – more likely given that, before the general election, he couldn’t even be bothered to show up to the housing sector’s hustings – he just doesn’t care. Instead, his focus on ownership suggests he sees the job as to deliver a few more votes to the Tory party by redirecting yet more money from genuinely affordable housing towards yet more ownership subsidies, even though history suggests this will just inflate the market further and harm ownership rates even more in the long run. The latest wheeze is the “First Homes scheme”, which will offer 30 per cent discounts on new-build homes, and which Shelter has already found will be precisely useless to most people in most of England.
The idea that the government should be taking active steps towards making housing cheaper seems not to have occurred to Jenrick. He’s only been an MP for six years: his prospects within the Conservative Party are not likely to be improved by garnering a reputation for being the guy who crashed the housing market and brought back council housing. Much better to keep stoking the fire.
And so, we have yet another housing secretary with no interest in providing adequate housing.

Jenrick was asked today to justify his departure to his Herefordshire house from his main home in London.
A load of obfuscation and waffle ensued, and he was quick to move on to another question, not allowing the original questioner to come back to him as is usually the case.
"Mr Jenrick was questioned on his claim that his house in Herefordshire was his main home, as his children and wife attend school and work in London.
He was asked whether he should apologise to the public for seeming to have broken the rules when visiting his Herefordshire home during the lockdown.
He responded: “I joined my family at our home in Herefordshire as soon as I was able to do so, as soon as we made the decision that it was no longer necessary to work in person in Westminster.
“I’ve been there since I’ve been working from home and returned to Westminster last night to do this press conference because parliament returns next week.”
He said he also delivered medicine to his elderly parents who are self-isolating and that this was done within guidelines.
“I wouldn’t want people to feel concerned that they can’t do something like that to help their own parents or elderly relatives who are in need,” he added."

Britain only made a formal request to Turkey over a consignment of personal protective equipment on Sunday, Turkish sources have told Sky News.
This is the day after Robert Jenrick, the housing secretary, said at the daily Downing Street press briefing on Saturday that 84 tonnes of the gear was already heading to the UK.
This included 400,000 urgently needed clinical gowns, which he said would arrive in the UK from Turkey the following day. It failed to materialise, but no explanation for the delay was given.
Two sources have told Sky News that no formal request was made to the Turkish authorities - who were not supplying the shipment, but whose help was sought to get it to the UK - until Sunday.

'already on its way' was not a change made by me. It is in the Sky News Report. news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-uk-only-formally-asked-turkey-for-ppe-shipment-after-it-said-it-was-already-on-its-way-11976238Here's the actual words spoken by Jenrick on Saturday:- “Today I can report that a very large consignment of PPE is set to arrive from Turkey tomorrow. This will be 84 tons of PPE and will include 400,000 gowns". This is clearly an issue of semantics. It is reasonable to assume that Jenrick was attempting to give assurances that PPE would be arriving soon from Turkey. But 'set to arrive' suggests that all the mechanisms for the consignment being delivered were in place. The Sky report suggests otherwise. "No formal request was made to the Turkish authorities - who were not supplying the shipment, but whose help was sought to get it to the UK - until Sunday". |
