One Tory MP says it is possible ‘one or two’ other colleagues might also defect to join former Conservative MP and ex-deputy chair
Lee Anderson has been unveiled as the first-ever MP for Reform UK, with the former Conservative party vice-chair telling a press conference that he had joined the Nigel Farage-created party because: “I want my country back.”
During a sometimes chaotic event in Westminster, in which the Nottinghamshire MP was announced as a defector by Richard Tice, Reform UK’s leader, Anderson promised to help his new party “fight back in the culture war”.
