So, "Tory Fixer" Richard Patient, embroiled in the Jenrick scandal, is a friend of @dominicraab and runs Thorncliffe whose subsidiary "YourShout" ran the #HamptonCourtStation redevelopment consultation in Raab's constituency. Hmm.

The "Your Shout" #HamptonCourt consultation site even ran "news" that "local MP" @dominicraab wanted people to "be bold and brave, to build homes on Network Rail land and on sites within a kilometre or mile of train stations". What a happy coincidence.

We now know from @Gabriel_Pogrund that Richard Patient was "in the room" when Richard Desmond lobbied @RobertJenrick. And here's Patient in the room (far left) when Jenrick spoke at @DominicRaab's constituency "Connect" business breakfast in 2018. https://bit.ly/2V5sL1F

According to the Electoral Commission register, the #EsherandWalton "Connect" business network have donated nearly £16k to @DominicRaab in the last two years. @MrHarryCole @campbellclaret @SteveReedMP

Raab's "Connect" business network are regularly "hosted" at Sandown Park racecourse. Shortly after Jenrick spoke there in late 2018, the consultation started on the housing development on Sandown's land - a decision on which Jenrick's now intervened.

If the length of this thread is anything to go by, #Jenrick should have resigned by now. https://twitter.com/Gabriel_Pogrund/status/1276929205599637504?s=19
