Robert Jenrick launches Tory leadership campaign

Описание: The Tories “threw money into a black hole” in government, Robert Jenrick has claimed as he accused colleagues of letting “poor performance go unpunished” in the NHS.

The Conservative leadership candidate said the health service has been “led by donkeys in back offices” as he became the first of the six contenders to launch his campaign.

Jenrick was housing secretary for two years under Boris Johnson and immigration minister under Rishi Sunak, before resigning saying the plan to send migrants to Rwanda did “not go far enough”.

At a speech to activists in his Newark constituency in Nottinghamshire, Jenrick said the Conservative government poured billions into a “black hole of waste and inefficiency” into the NHS and forgot it was a “public service not a religion”.
