Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick has delivered a blistering response to the BBC, telling Laura Kuenssberg that Sir Keir Starmer is either “a liar” who deliberately misled Parliament over Lord Mandelson’s failed vetting or “grossly incompetent” – but either way he is totally unfit to lead the country.
Jenrick Refuses to Back Down on Farage’s Claim
When pressed on Nigel Farage’s accusation that Starmer lied, Jenrick said: “I don’t know whether Keir Starmer is a liar or just grossly incompetent. What I do know, Laura, is that he is totally unfit to lead this country.”
“He’s Distracted from What Really Matters”
Jenrick slammed the endless focus on the Mandelson scandal: “What will be being discussed in Number 10 today? Is it the small boats crisis? Is it the cost of fuel? Is it energy bills? Is it bringing good jobs back? No, it’s the ins and outs of why the Prime Minister appointed the best friend of the world’s most notorious paedophile to be our ambassador in Washington.”
Calls for Starmer to Go
When asked who he agrees with – Reform Scotland leader Malcolm Offord who said Starmer should not resign, or Nigel Farage who said he should – Jenrick replied: “He should be gone. The best way to get rid of Keir Starmer… is to vote for Reform on May 7.”
- Jenrick: Starmer either lied or is grossly incompetent
- Prime Minister “totally unfit to lead”
- Scandal distracting from small boats, energy bills and jobs
- Reform demands Starmer’s resignation
- Vote Reform on 7 May to remove him
Reform UK: Focus on Real Issues Facing Britain
Robert Jenrick made clear Reform UK cares about what matters to the British people – stopping the boats, cutting taxes, securing borders and fixing the cost-of-living crisis – not Westminster process or defending a failing Prime Minister.
What This Means for Britain
This no-nonsense interview shows exactly why Reform UK is surging. While Labour is consumed by sleaze, cover-ups and scandal, Reform is focused on the real crises facing families: record small boat crossings, £2,000 energy bills and a government that has lost control.
With local elections weeks away, Robert Jenrick’s message is clear: Starmer is unfit, Labour is in chaos, and the only way to get rid of him is to vote Reform on 7 May. Britain needs strong leadership that puts British people first – not endless excuses and deflection.
Share if you believe Keir Starmer is either a liar or grossly incompetent.
