Reform UK leader hints at Red Wall Tory MP defections to his pro-Brexit party at next election

that Rishi Sunak’s stance on issues such as immigration, Brexit and the economy will mean they are ejected from Parliament after just one-term.

“We had our second-best day ever for membership registrations on Friday with 693 people joining us,” said Mr Tice. Mr Tice refused to say how large the party’s total membership base was following the recent surge but said Reform’s increase in membership registrations was not merely down to its pro-Brexit stance and claimed its low-tax economic agenda was tempting in Tories.

“They’re a party of tax and spend. The two main parties are now socialist parties. We’ve got the Con-socialists, and the red socialists.

DavidParsley50 He’s not got the charisma of Farage. Any defections will be pretty pointless as our electoral system doesn’t allow small party success. Plus if a MP’s ego thinks they’ll win under a different banner then they’re pretty thick. It rarely works.

Ex-climate chief Alok Sharma joins Tory rebellion to overturn ban on new windfarmsAlok Sharma has joined a growing rebellion over onshore wind, backing an amendment calling for a ban on new windfarms to be lifted 🔴 Ex-PMs Johnson and Truss are both among the rebels on the issue, despite defending the ban when they were in office Maybe I’m missing the point but why was there a ban in the first place? A solar farm takes away potential farmland but with a wind turbine farming can take place underneath. And yes, I would have no objection to a wind turbine near me, I find them calming & quite balletic We need lots of wind farms. They don’t have to be big. In France they are often just four to six on a site. And they can be beautiful. You mean he's got those dangly things? Impressive!
