Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick was brutally mocked in the House of Commons by MPs as he sought to criticise the Labour government, with members poking fun at him for switching sides.
Speaking during a debate on economic growth, Jenrick said: “Well, what a complete shambles. Less than two years ago, this government were elected with the largest majority of any government, bar one, in 100 years.
“People across our country, including most in my home county of Nottinghamshire, put their trust in the Labour Party. Why? Because it promised change.
“It said it would do things differently, it would be better and it would end the chaos. It would put country before party. And where are we, less than two years later?”
Lib Dem MP Max Wilkinson, who was sitting in front of him, chipped in: “You’re in a different party.”
As MPs roared with laughter across the Commons, Jenrick attempted to push on with his speech, before Wilkinson then told him: “You used to be over there.”
