Robert Jenrick faces backlash for calling Birmingham’s Soho Road a ‘slum’

His remarks, made earlier this year during a Conservative Association dinner, have triggered a strong backlash from residents, community leaders, and political figures who denounced the comments as divisive and racially insensitive.
