, Robert Jenrick, to explain a ministerial meeting with a “family friend” who had a financial interest in the future of a rival mining project that Jenrick was overseeing.that Jenrick met the Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer while the then exchequer secretary to the Treasury was considering a request for financial support from Sirius Minerals for a mining project that would have rivalled Ofer’s own firm Cleveland Potash.

You got what you voted for in the UK, suck it up
Sleaze is back to the fore!
Gangsters
What a surprise , plus ca change ....
BorisJohnson Jenrick is another bluffing Public-school idiot. Kick him out immediately!...
First the Johnson Government corrupted data, truth, the constitution and finally the minds of the Brits, now we're in phase 2 : corruption to fill the pockets.
Well reading the comments below I found no surprises. And is there any other reason, apart from Bob being a TOOOORIEEEE, that he shouldn't have a billionaire friend? No, I thought not. Partisanship rules okay. 😂😂😂
Jenrick is either hopelessly naive or hopelessly corrupt. Either way, he shouldn't be in the Cabinet.
Wow, our family friends are Bob and Vera from down the road. What different lives we lead.
I remember wondering why the Govt wouldn't back this mining project at the time. It would have been great publicity - big new project for Govt to boast about. It was swallowed up by mining giant Anglo & looks like lots of ordinary people lost a lot of money.
Seriously...how bad does your behaviour have to get in this Govt before there's any consequences
Jenrick is dishonest by withholding the truth until caught out by the press if Boris doesn’t ask to resign or fire him we will know his government is corrupt
Not sure we need to mention he's Israeli so prominently, as they are our allies.
Nothing to see here
Get gone
Anti-semitic much? What's being a citizen of Israel got to do with it? Antisemitism
Tory corruption is Tories being Tories. That's what they are. They know no other behaviour.
Looking forward to centrist bloviators, news BoDPres JLC_uk JewishLabour CST_UK telling us this story is full of antisemitic 'tropes'. You know, money, secrecy, conspiracy, influence etc.
How many billionaire property and freeholder friends has he got. And he's in charge of fair dealings!!!
Mr Jenrick should make up his mind as to whether he wants to be a business man with no public restrictions on who he meets and what subjects are discussed or a Minister accountable for his personal relationships with those seeking to benefit from his position.He cannot be both.
What shocks me the most isn’t how easy it is to buy a favourable decision from our government, but how cheap. A few thousand dollars seems to be all Boris & Co. need to happily throw any semblance of decency and objectivity out of the window. Pathetic.
greg_herriett Dodgy dodgy dodgy
There you go. Fecker
They’re really just out for all they can get aren’t they? Screw the little people. Vile, just vile. All of them. Cuntservatives.
As usual, Labour shadow ministers are held to account over any failing but Tory ministers are allowed to indulge in corruption which directly empoverished ordinary people!
Well those who voted them in are now reaping the rewards, liers cheats and basically don't give a dam about those beneath them. What will be done about it? NOTHING they make rules with a loophole created by them for them. IMPRISON AND FINE HEAVILY
Oh no. Antisemitism warning in 3...2...1...
The Daily Mail have come down stronger on the Tories about Jenrick than Labour has.
Stench smells nicer
Another Israeli corrupting our country. invaded
Corruption is as corruption has...
CONservatives lying their way to power since forever
Not so much a'hidden offer' then?
Careful everyone. The need to point out this billionaire is Israeli must surely be antisemitism judging by recent events.
This lot are so naturally corrupt they are incapable of ethical behaviour
Nothing to see here.....😳
You can bet his tax haven is looking good by now
He's been caught. Time for him to go. Not the first and definately not the last. Don't the conservatives have more history of dishonesty?
johnandi To what point did BorisJohnson protect Jenrick? I mean, for ALL possible breaches of the Ministerial Code? Let's wait to see what Boris says. Their unethical, power driven actions will be their ultimate downfall. Even Coca-Cola, Honda and Unilever are boycotting Facebook ads
Suggest he contacts Long-Bailey for some post-career counselling 😮
buy premium bamboo toilet rolls
greg_herriett It gets worse and worse and yet he's still there draining the lifeblood from the country.
Oh right.. What a surprise.
And what will be the next detail we discover?
Be careful you will be accused of being anti semitic
How many headlines have to start ‘Robert Jenrick admits’ before we find one that says ’Robert Jenrick sacked’. There’s times when Rebecca Long-Bailey must wish that she was a Tory.
No self awareness.
“This is miiiine” ‘
Tory corruption, Labour an anti Semitic hard left cesspit , Lib Dem’s a joke , people of the country deserve much better
Can’t he stop digging and just get off the pitch?
TorySleaze
this just gets worse and worse we need criminal convictions on this matter.
Tory Minister for raising cash into bank account of the party
I started out giving him the benefit of doubt. I'm now at the point of doubting his benefit. At best he should resign and BoJo needs to get off his arse and do something.
This is ridiculous why do people keep putting these no good rich self serving interest fools in power. Please God make this buffonary end. So over 2020
Surely there are criminal charges to brought against this insidious Tory? Sacked at the very least
I'm expecting the BoardofDeputies to complain that highlighting the nationality of the billionaire is antisemitic.
Labour sacks shadow minister for a sniff of sth nasty. Tories just keep robbing us blind & move on to the next scandal.
In Portugal the press would be having a field day. Here inthe UK they stay silent. Too much Censorship happens inthis country
A palm greasier than a doner kebab
DODGY
The only sackable offence is disloyalty to the party leader Dominic Cummings PuppetMaster
Boris said no 😂
'Nothing to see here......... Move along...........'
What happened to the Russia Report? The Tories are all corrupt.
Thought there were anti corruption rules? Obviously mistaken! Does this mean you're only corrupt if you get caught and then if you wriggle your way out?
Jenrick just doesn't seem to understand the concept of conflict of interest. In the Westferry case he arranged a site tour with Desmond before it looks like someone explained how wildly inappropriate that was and wrote an ass covering text for him.
So that’s clear conflict of interest. Time to resign Bobby!
Well it's not like he'd be friends with anyone in the labour party
Corbyn never had any billionaire Israeli friends that he took donations from, a sign of his rampant anti-Semitism.
Guys guys, please use 'Conservative Party' rather than 'Tory' as I honestly believe that many many people think the dodgy/corrupt Tories are different from the Conservative Party, so happy to vote for the big Con.
The old school tie brigade,The old pals act,The bung,The brown envelop under the table,The general medical council,The law society,we’re living in a corrupted society where the real criminals are well heeled conmen & slippery spivs dressed in suits
This is becoming more and more embarrassing in terms of what the conservatives had promised to be. This fool needs the chop.
Tip of the iceberg.Jenrick is corrupt and there are many like him in the Tory party.This is a longstanding Tory tradition.
This utterly untalented immoral and totally unnecessary little shit got where he is today only by being born into the right family and because he doesn't deserve any of it he thinks nothing he actually does has any consequence, hope he's wrong
What a corrupted government is
Colour me surprised.
When you have millions and you want more. The more wealth you have, the more stingy you become. Billionaires who have a personal wealth of billions just sat in a bank account, they'll NEVER spend it in their lifetime. Its like a mental illness, 'GOT to keep it all for myself'.
As dear dear Boris would say; Phaaahhhhaaah, phooooooaaaaahh, and every one would carry on none the wiser.
Always_a_Yes Dirty cheating corrupt c*nt... needs to be jailed !
Do nowadays these Tory politicians literally need to be not only caught with their hands in the till but with blood all over them spattered with a murdered persons DNA?
Sounds like a Back to Baiscs framework is need for these MPs and advisors Scandal after scandal at the moment.
For once Johnson needs to do the right thing and sack him JenrickGate Jenrick JohnsonHasFailedTheNation
Still not sacked
Define ‘family friend’.....
BorisJohnson really seems like you have collected a rotten bunch of apples - who in your cabinet is genuinely uncorrupted ?
Needs a police investigation.
listen, if you have a problem with Jenrick, go through the proper channels - simply raise it with him at the next Tory donors luncheon.
At this point, Jenricked should enter the language as a synonym for tainted
Oh that ok then... any normal government it would have already been bye bye and possible criminal proceedings!
Wallowing in s***
Corrupt to the core. Jenrick needs to resign. People trapped in leasehold houses that they can't sell, doubling ground rents, onerous terms. Cladding still not be sorted on thousands of buildings, endangering peoples lives.
Even Grayling must be thinking to himself: Wow this guy is completely incompetent!
Keir_Starmer No risk of antisemitism there! Tories will take money from anyone, 🇷🇺🇸🇦🇮🇱.
It gets better and better!
ooh dear everyone with friends resign
Are we sure this guy is not BoJos and Priti’s love child His behaviour is typical Tory. Greed greed and more greed. Working class people actually voted these people into power
Such a crook get rid
He seems completely reliable and honest to me. 😬
Corruption & lying are the core principles of this govt...
🤣🤣🤣 Robert Jenrick - the revelations get worse - and this is just ONE of them out of how many Tory MPs, or for that matter ALL MP's
