HoL does do some good work as it scrutinises government
but it becomes pointless if its just a political football where each team stuff it with their side
Jenrick is channelling his inner Truss with statements like he'd vote trump, he's playing to the membership but more subtly than Liz, and wont be as crackpot if he gets in.

Who's dumb
As a short-run strategy to reduce inflation and lower nominal interest rates, the U.S. borrowed both domestically and abroad to cover the Federal budget deficits, raising the national debt from $997 billion to $2.85 trillion.[39] This led to the U.S. moving from the world's largest international creditor to the world's largest debtor nation.[10] Reagan described the new debt as the "greatest disappointment" of his presidency.
