All Laura K's bit was missing were a bow and a cinnamon stick.

Waymarker sounds like a word Mason heard at his D&D table.
Ha ha, We're lucky he didn't say "Robert Jenrick has left the Tories and taken the Sword of Ishgarorn with him".

and, of course, insider knowledge of what Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and her team are up to.

He didn't this week did he and is unlikely to from now on.
So Jenrick's a Tory big beast and a huge Reform catch. But zero insight from Laura K about what this tells us about the talent levels of these two parties.
Does this make much difference? They're up to being Reform, except with (moderately) more fiscal credibility. That may be a winning message, it may not.

Does Jenrick know where bodies are buried? Otherwise, so what?

Incredible to think that less than 18 months ago Jenrick stood for the Tory leadership and Badenoch only defeated him by one vote. And now he's gone.
