PMQs #009 – Jenrick's Defection Changes Nothing
In this PMQs episode, we discuss Robert Jenrick's defection to Reform and how it signals a political system that can only manage decline, not reverse it. We discuss debt, inflation, incentives, and accountability - why every party borrows, why promises don't bind, and why voters are increasingly trapped choosing between different speeds of the same outcome.
