    Richard Desmond texted Robert Jenrick asking for urgent decision on Westferry printworks 'We appreciate the speed as we don't want to give Marxists loads of doe [sic] for nothing!' Jenrick said he didn't want to give 'any appearance of being influenced by applicants of cases'pic.twitter.com/cKCWZzgwoj

        Robert Jenrick wanted to approve Westferry Printworks because Richard Desmond of concerns about its viability if it had to pay charge to the council Desmond suggested in texts to Jenrick that the charge would have cost him £45m and forced him to 'stop and reduce social housing'

        This is just dreadful. Far from distancing himself, these words suggest that we know the result but I need to be crafty and conniving. @RobertJenrick is toast....

        The soon to be ex minister, and dodgy Desmond's deal should have planning withdrawn. Knock down anything he's already built, stick it on BBC on a Sunday night, the country needs a laugh.

        Absolutely agree. Edpecially with Cummings push for relaxing the rules further. There is lot of NIMBYism going on but worst is disregard for SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND lip service to CLIMATE EMERGENCY
