The long running FT ‘lunch with’ series which has in the past featured Nigel Farage (can be Googled) this week met Robert Jenrick in the Prince Rupert pub in his Newark Constituency.
Jenrick is best known in 2025 for making provocative hard right statements accompanied by similarly forthright videos. He is also known as someone who either plans to lead the Tory Party or defect to Reform.
The interview with the FT however finds Jenrick not in uniform but in a merino sweater and while he is well known for dieting, he consumed two pints of cask beer, fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding. Not perhaps a Farage ‘proper fucking lunch’ (PFL) but one suggesting the distinct possibility of an afternoon siesta..
In conclusion, since Newark is one of the most well know English Civil War locations and Jenrick actually studied history at University the FT asks him which side he would have been on. He declares for Cromwell. Interesting
