The Tories have accused Robert Jenrick of being responsible for air con regulations that were actually published by Michael Gove and Kemi Badenoch. Slipping on the banana peel slightly\u2026<\/p>\n

A press release went out overnight:<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the Conservative Party have pledged to reverse the Net Zero ban on air con in new homes, as the latest heatwave leaves families suffering unnecessarily\u2026 the Conservatives pledge to overturn this ban devised by Robert Jenrick as Housing Secretary and entrenched in London by Sadiq Khan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tories say \u201cthe legal foundation is Approved Document O of the Building Regulations. This document was consulted on and devised in January 2021.\u201d That document was actually signed off and published<\/a> in December 2021 \u2013 three months after Jenrick had left \u2013 when Michael Gove was the new Housing Secretary. And Kemi Badenoch was his second-in-command\u2026<\/p>\n

That of course means they could have stopped the regulations. There is footage of Jenrick backing the regulations<\/a> \u2013 in formulation \u2013 in the Commons\u2026<\/p>\n

The Telegraph, Times, and Express wrote up the Tory release practically verbatim and are now issuing corrections and removing references to Jenrick. Quick rubber job\u2026<\/p>\n

A Reform source said:<\/p>\n

\u201cKemi has accidentally caught her handler, Michael Gove, in friendly fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
