Why Jenrick wants to see more 'white faces'
Feb 27, 2026
Robert Jenrick has doubled down on remarks - from a speech he made in March - just leaked to The Guardian.

He insists he’s talking about the need for integration and community cohesion. So how’s that working out?
Later we report live from Manchester on the new Conservative policy to remove judges. What are they lining up next for the rule of law? And does anyone mind that it’s straight from the Trump playbook? Emily caught up with Robert Jenrick to ask him.
