There are four remaining candidates hoping to become the next leader of the Conservative party. Robert Jenrick has been the Conservative MP for Newark since 2014. Jenrick has held several significant roles in government, including serving as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government. In July 2022, he was appointed as Minister of State for Immigration but resigned from the position in September 2022 amid a cabinet reshuffle. For his bid to become the next Tory leader, Robert explains why he chose to resign, how immigration can only be tackled with drastic reforms such as leaving the ECHR and whether the current net zero goals are realistic.
