Speaking at the British Chambers of Commerce conference in London, Jenrick stated there is “not a cat in hell’s chance” Burnham would make significant welfare cuts. Asked whether Burnham poses a greater electoral threat than outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Jenrick described Burnham as “a more human face” but criticized his inconsistent positions in recent months.
