Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has defended his claims that mass migration and “woke culture” are threatening “English identity”.
However, when pressed by Matt Barbet, the Conservative leadership candidate said national identity could not be “distilled to a soundbite”.
Mr Jenrick is campaigning to become the party’s leader with Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly and Tom Tugendhat also in the running.

Jenrick is total farce. A Trump clone at its worse. Please can he answer the question,what is English identity? He doesn't know the answer himself😂. It was just poor rhetoric.

Britain and England has been at the forefront of globalisation in the last two decades. As a politician this chap has been part of it.

He means white! Just say it straight!
@simonkapadia7582
It couldn't be more clear that as is historically always the case, the Conservative party is going to need a lot more time for introspection before it remembers how elections are actually won in this country, and it isn't by talking only to their party membership, or the most extreme 10% of the country.
@Jenzotrenzo
Listen to this idiot trying to pin point him with the meaning of English Identity, so he can say it doesn't exist! It does exist and we want to save it, nothing wrong with that, Germanys doing so, Poland is doing so, Jenrick handled it very well. This messenger boy is just part of what's wrong with this rotten country.
@beendoneagain
LoL everyone!

It’s laughable this Tory man better say he represents Israhell🫵👺 . This Tory israhell representative could have this crap before the election. He say it now only for political score point 🤮
@MJsalons
Jenrick is so spineless
@johnbennett348
The one thing i really hate anout all the MPs say england this and england that, all MPs especially the government are there to represent and improve the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland NOT just England.
@simeonpaskell
Well…if he gets the leadership…it will help really cement the concept that 'Englishness' is having a Conservative party lead by a total clown 🤡
@prominecraftbuilder829
Vote reform
@Jack-fs2im
diversity is bad for uk
@classiccarfinder
Think the sky reporter proves the mp's point by even asking the question albeit with an ulterior motive the guy clearly is a weapon and is what has become the expected representative of this sham news channel refreshing to see the comments turned on.
@matthew14722
"British identity is our proud history and culture". The proud British identity of WW2 and Eastenders

SLy News.CON 😂
@mataform
Good for Jenryk.why is it such a problem for us to have an English identity ? Sky News interviewer typically globalist. Loathsome. He wants Jenryk to say it’s a brown black and middle Easter person not a white person that makes England English immediately pushing the immigration stuff. . Despicable, ignorant and biased.
@ponderingspirit
Being English means:
Broken families
No culture
Loneliness
Obesity
Low testosterone
Infertile
Cancer prone
Bad diet

Britain is not a culture based on sharia law and Marxism

If that Sky presenter does not understand what Christian western culture is then he thinks it must be communist and radical Islamist culture
@sueburgess847
'English identity' is a sense of fair play, human rights and standing up for others, as seen during the riots in summer. The public showed the rioters whose side we were on.

Woke culture is a cancer that the threatened the whole of the world

@bitandbob1167
The conservatives had 14 years in which they could have made St George’s Day or some other significant british event (VE day?) a national holiday so we could all be together with our family and celebrate it. Instead they told us we don’t work hard enough, shouldn’t have as many rights as we have, and should pay more for less. Jenrick is a fraud and pathetic wanna be statesman, who just sounds like a snivelling toff
@leod-sigefast
Jenrick desperately trying to import USA "culture war" BS to the UK. We just had an election…we massively rejected culture war BS in the UK. We want the country to work, not the awful theatre of the US replicated here.

England's identity? What about the UK. Casual exchange of English and British again? England has no history or identity outside these islands. There has never been a monarch of English provenance in it's entire history the Tudors, a Welsh dynasty, were probably the greatest. French, Scots, Dutch, and German stand large among them. The English are a melding of many peoples over many centuries.

@ayabdulla
He is proud to 'English' & 'British' but don't know how to define it.
Someone tell these losers that 'British' & 'English' are referring to geographic locations NOT culture.
@frandyson6133
A invasion of a country is an act of war an country who fails to protect the country it's an act of treason

Pity he wasn't saying this for the last 5. Years 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@janetmoore6036
Bit of a kick in the teeth to all the amazing History Teachers in schools.
I have no idea what Jeneric means by National identity. I don't think he does either, unless he means people from different countries moving here. That's always happened here. We're a massive mix of genes from all over the world, and always have been.
@Camille_Anderson
Why are All other cultures celebrated in the UK, except British culture? Why do foreigners come & try to force their beliefs on us? We are constantly told to be more tolerant, accepting & to adapt. Why? We have centuries of achievements thst should not be denied or apologised for. We are completely disgusted with the state of the UK due to immigration, legal & illegal. We dont need more low skilled, non English speaking foreign military age males. We are destroying our society, culture and economy.
