#Breaking: Lee Anderson, who was a deputy chairman of the Conservative Party until January this year, has defected to Reform UK to become its 'champion of the Red Wall'

"We want to replace the Tories as the main alternative to Starmer-geddon" says Reform UK leader Richard Tice

In 2020, Lee Anderson voted for the Recall of MPs (Change of Party Affiliation) Bill – which requires an MP to call a by-election if they defect. https://t.co/NxmjaCnuWK

Sunak should offer Anderson the Chancellorship, deliver a proper Conservative budget that eliminates income tax and stops all boats, and then romp to a 100 seat majority before giving way to Johnson.

Sorry, just thought I should save the Telegraph the trouble.

Tory Party hit back at Lee Anderson: “Lee himself said he fully accepted that the Chief Whip had no option but to suspend the whip in these circumstances

“We regret he’s made this decision, voting for Reform can’t deliver anything apart from a Keir Starmer-led Labour Government”
