'The left needs to leave Boris Johnson alone' - Andrea Jenkyns

There are many questions as always swirling around Boris Johnson. How do you react to what Chris Bryant has to say? I mean both the words that Chris Brian used and the overwhelming sense of distrust and, um uh, almost, I guess, contempt on Mr. Johnson's part before I answer that, obviously I'll answer Trevor, you know, because I talk quite a bit. straight. Can I go back to what Jonathan Ashworth said for a second? He was only in the work centers, but we are doing incredible. things, I was briefly the Minister for Skills, you know, we have the boot camps where you can get the technical skills, the HDV skills, we have Kickstart to help people write, so it's not just about the creation of CV.

I just wanted to put that on the record now regarding um, I mean, look, we know Chris is as outspoken as I am, but on the other side of the fence and he never liked Boris and if anything, there's some real hate. on the

left

, um, towards Boris Johnson, which I haven't done. I've seen it since you know Thatcher's funeral, to be honest, and I think it's unfair. I think the lines have been blurred when civil service is consent. I mean, for um, you know, for some previous Civ civil sermons to come out and say publicly that I you.

You know he was responsible for bringing down Boris Johnson. When you see that, you know, part of the investigation we heard that the head of Ethics brought his own karaoke machine to the Civil Service party. Yes, Boris is to blame for all those things. So I would like to see more transparency, not just whether the Civil Service has this orchestrating campaign and they are trying to stop our immigration policy etc. I think we need to see more transparency with the Civil Service and they declare their interests and their relationships not only with the media but also with the shadow cabinet uh I'm going to come back to ask you about what you said about the civil services that you mentioned several times. , but just before we get to that, Boris Jones not responsible for all of this, I mean, is he kind of a totally innocent party?

I think, if anything, Boris has probably been too trusting, you know, Boris, an outsider throughout all of this and just wandered off and was, you know, a victim of horribly devious others. People now, at the end of the day, I mean, I've seen the hate and the vitriol, that's why outside throughout history I got frustrated, you know, the

left

got what they want and I think they should

leave

Boris in peace. now, but she's carrying a very intense pregnancy,

leave

it

alone

and what I really question Trevor about is the timing of this, um, so you're a little, you're being a little political, you're getting away from my basic question, whatever. .

What do you say about what is being said about Boris Jones? Are you just saying that nothing he has done is worthy of questioning or investigation and that he did not make any mistakes in all the prime ministers and I am not and am not one of those in question here? Trevor, but every Prime Minister you know should be questioned. I mean, that's why I question our current Prime Minister's oversight and policies, like scrapping the annual welfare bill, and you know I'll be a critic. I was with Theresa May in our own party, but with Boris, I feel like no, you clearly know that he, um, nobody's perfect, certainly, um, but at least I've seriously heard you say no, but honestly, there's been an orchestrated campaign not only in my own party also because Face it, you know that most of my fellow MPs and I are the only nation to the left of the party, they have the leader they wanted, in Rishi, they never accepted Boris nor accepted trusts of lists and are out of sync with party members, who are big fans of Boris on the important point you raised here, which is about the role of the Civil Service.

Do you think it is right that the cabinet office handed over the Boris Diaries to the Privileges committee and as a result? I ended up in the hands of the police. I'm going with my personal point of view on this. My personal view is no and why he did it. They should have at least let Boris Johnson know they had concerns, but I'm back on topic. moment of this why, suddenly, when the undercover investigation is concluding and um we saw with a um with a committee um that um that wasn't really solid evidence, I didn't feel, I thought Boris came out very well in the committee um so I also questioned the timing of this to be honest well as you say you've been pretty direct I mean you've been pretty direct on WhatsApp and um I think we've seen some of your messages this week um you talked about of hypocrisy and sanctimony um yeah, do you want to tell us names and names of who you're talking about?

Well I mean the person at the top Simon Hall um during Teresa's labyrinth time you know it was pretty scathing Social media had to block it at the end so they say about Blue on Blue and you know let's keep this on house, etc., but those who cast the first stone know to make sure not to do so. deviated from doing the same, okay, who else is on the enemy crew? I mean a lot of enemies. I mean, I have to set the record straight with this, you know, we would all rather see a conservative government than a socialist one. government um with their whole wokarati agenda so um I mean I also blocked Chief Whip Joe at the time um who is now the Chief Whip so you know this I'm sorry with the greatest of respect , I mean, you know I am.

I'm a newbie to politics, but I have to say, well, if you want to see a Conservative government, yes, these WhatsApp messages bring back Boris and all that, Rishi is always a bit weak, all the things you've been saying. which do not seem like the best message to send to the electorate if what you want to do is get the conservatives re-elected. I mean, look, Boris and Liz were Prime Ministers and you know the party leaders who I supported. did not support Rishi and, you know, that was life in Theresa May's time, I mean when Boris was elected we saw members of the party who were not happy about it, but I mean, ultimately we want to see a elected conservative and and in any case, Trevor, what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to be frank, which I can't be anything else.

I am a Yorkshire woman and I was brought up to be honest and direct, and if anything, I am trying to challenge some of the policies that are emerging at the moment also because I know what policies are working in my area and, in fact, live to fulfill the commitments of our Manifesto, okay, very quickly, with a yes or a no, so I am direct. Rishi Sunak you want him to be leader uh when you go to the next election you'll be happy to get it you're going to stick with it now it's a change of leader again now because we would have to go into a general election and what we'll end up with With 100c why would you do that?

I want to see a conservative government elected it seems Richie is on parole he has some lack of confidence let us in yet um I have no idea about you I know you'll have to understand, you haven't sent one have you? I mean, I know you've been, yeah, I'm very public. See when I sent one about Theresa, yeah I was public about it so yeah I did. I sent one, you know, I would post it, okay, look at the last, last point, I just want to ask you on behalf of my dear friend and colleague Sam Coates, when he broke the story on Thursday, you had to attack him.

I mean, honestly, I mean, honestly, you're impugning the integrity of one of the best reporters out there and with it the entire sky team. I feel confronted. No, come on, Trevor, I like Sam and um, and you're pretty decent too, but, come on. we know the media who are waiting know stories to hear that the party is falling apart, but we don't know, if you look, I'm sure the Labor MP is WhatsApp, you know, you get people who are happy. and I'm not happy and there have been a lot of leaks over the eight years I've been an MP, so that's politics okay and by the way, that hashtag bbbj I didn't quite understand what it meant, I would bring back Boris Johnson, for Of course, yes.

I don't want to say that I want to come, as I don't think I will, but Andrew Andrew Jenkins, we should really do this, we should really do this again. Thank you very much for your time this morning. All the best. Have a good day. -bye
