While questioning Jenrick’s authenticity as a real ‘conservative’ in addition to the shadow justice secretary’s aspirations to succeed under-fire Tory chief Kemi Badenoch, Farage stated: “It’s not happening, our voters came to us from the Conservatives because they felt so betrayed by the Conservatives.”
