I AGREE wholeheartedly with Jesse Norman MP when he brands the speech by Robert Jenrick as “lazy, mendacious, simplistic tripe” (MP blasts would-be-leader, October 10).
This criticism is brave in that he criticises a person who may well become the leader of his party.

It is a symptom of the depths to which the Conservative Party has sunk, at least at a national level, that someone should be in the running for leader who is so clearly unsuited for that post.

Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence.
Jenrick, who has a mansion in Herefordshire, appears to subscribe to the Groucho Marx philosophy: “Those are my principles…if you do not like them I have others”.
I am not a Conservative but recognise that a healthy democracy requires an opposition party or parties that are principled and consistent, adjectives that I cannot apply to Mr Jenrick.
