‘Charisma-free’ Robert Jenrick is just trying to copy me, says Farage

Nigel Farage has claimed “charisma-free” Tory leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick is just trying to copy him.

The Reform leader made the comments after a speech by Mr Jenrick yesterday in which he set out a five-point plan for Britain which included leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

The Tory conference address by the former immigration minister also included promises to reduce migration to the tens of thousands or lower and mount a staunch defence of British national identities.

Mr Farage told his GB News programme: “Now, when it comes to Jenrick, the great Brexiteer who voted Remain, I mean, basically, he’s trying to be Nigel Farage.

“Now look, if you want, Robert, lessons in being Nigel Farage, I’m very happy to coach you.

“So of course, in terms of policy, I agree with a lot of what he said myself, but I frankly thought he was a bit of a charisma free zone.”
