Robert Jenrick reacts to footage from the Reform UK conference showing a protester being dragged out by her hair. Multiple outlets report he responds to questions about the removal of activists by mocking the protest activity, using the phrase “boohoo,” and telling protesters they should “get a life.”
The reports describe the exchange as taking place in the context of Jenrick being asked about how protesters are handled at the conference. One outlet focuses on his “boohoo” remark and the clip of the incident, while another highlights his instruction that protesters should stop and his response to the removal of activists. All accounts frame the reaction as occurring after the widely shared video and as part of a broader discussion around conference security and protester access.
While outlets agree on the core details of Jenrick’s remarks and the existence of the hair-dragging footage, they differ slightly in emphasis—some foreground the video itself, others foreground his “get a life” comment and the controversy surrounding the conference response.
