What £12k can buy you from this government

Apparently you can save £45million simply by donating £12K to the Conservative party and sitting next to Robert Jenrick at dinner. Really is there a single GN poster who can justify the actions of the housing secretary in fast forwarding the planning application simply to stop payments to Tower Hamlets one of the poorest places in the country? And why on earth isn't everybody with Tory MP writing to demand his resignation?

I have already posted on another thread that Jenrick should go, I will add that a full independent enquiry should happen.

Maybe the people with Tory MPs know that however many letters or emails they write, if Boris Johnson wants to keep someone, then that someone will be kept, however they have behaved, however corrupt they are.

So why bother with MPs. This is a strong Conservative government. If you have a Tory MP and you don't approve tel them so. After all didn't this government begin with saying they recognised they had been lent some votes and they were going to listen?

No it won't buy you what you want. The cunning plan was thwarted.
I do think Jenrick should go, however, for arrogant stupidity.
Same as Long-Bailey.
