Nadine Dorries has defected to Reform UK in another boost for Nigel Farage.
The former Tory Cabinet minister declared that the Conservative Party is “dead” as she announcer her switch.
She told the Daily Mail: “The Tory Party is dead. Its members now need to think the unthinkable and look to the future.”
Reform leader Mr Farage said: “I am absolutely delighted to welcome Nadine Dorries to Reform UK.
“She is a hugely successful politician, author and columnist and will be a great boost to our campaign to win the next general election.”
