Tory MP Danny Kruger Defects to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK

News summary

Conservative MP Danny Kruger has defected to Nigel Farage's Reform UK, declaring that the Conservative Party is "over" as a national party and as the principal opposition. Kruger, representing East Wiltshire and son of TV chef Prue Leith, is the first sitting Tory to join Reform UK and become their fifth MP in Westminster. Nigel Farage has assigned Kruger to lead a new department aimed at preparing Reform UK for forming a government, should they defeat Labour in the next election. Kruger emphasized that while the Conservative Party is finished as an official opposition, conservatism itself is not dead. The defection marks a significant political shift and adds momentum to Reform UK's efforts to position themselves as a viable governing party. This development is being closely followed and updated as more details emerge.
