Yes. Robert Jenrick was the immigration minister from 2022 as the immigration wave peaked. Let those words sink in.

You’re not getting it, are you? The right wing of the Conservative party could not get their wishes accepted by their liberal wing. This is one of the problems you get when appealing to the centre ground. And it’s why those who had been sidelined for years decided to defect to Reform, where their ideas would be embraced.
