In the intervening years he has transformed into a politician whose every uttering is seemingly designed to cause controversy in the area of immigration. These are not throwaway remarks, they are deliberate, and because of that they are dangerous.
To be honest, after his comments over the last three days, he is lucky not only to have a job, but to still have the Conservative whip. Words have consequences and politicians have a duty to choose their words very carefully, especially when talking about immigration, race and religion.
So what has he said that is so dangerous? On Saturday afternoon at 2.26pm, the politician formerly in charge of immigration, posted on X about the grooming gangs scandal that is currently preoccupying Elon Musk and much of the political discourse:
This wasn’t a throwaway comment in an interview. It was deliberately designed to back up the outrageous comments of Musk. He also said: “This appalling affair is the final nail in the coffin for liberals who still cling to the argument that Britain is an integration success story.”
Talk of “alien cultures” and “medieval attitudes” are phrases which Tommy Robinson, Marine Le Pen or the AfD in Germany might utter. Just as we would condemn them, we must also condemn Jenrick.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp was incandescent at Jenrick’s comments overshadowing his round of Sunday morning interviews. He did his best not to be drawn into a row, but in the end couldn’t avoid disowning Jenrick by saying: “He’ll choose his words, I’ll choose mine.”

Read MoreJenrick was, however, defended by Badenoch who said: “This nonsense of attacking anyone with a different viewpoint as ‘divisive’ has to stop. We MUST be free to have tough conversations, no matter how difficult that may be to hear. We need moral courage, not silencing of debate through personal attacks… The Conservative Party is under new leadership and that means confronting difficult truths.”
If I were Badenoch I’d have called in Jenrick for an interview without coffee and warned him of the consequences if he did it again.
It comes to something when Nigel Farage understands and criticises the bile that Musk has spewed, yet Jenrick not only echoes it, but magnifies it. He should hang his head in shame.
