Three Conservative former MPs have defected to Reform, a source in Nigel Farage’s party confirmed today.

Jonathan Gullis, who represented Stoke-on-Trent North, Lia Nici, who served as Grimsby MP, and former Bolton West Tory MP Chris Green, have all joined “on their own accord online”, a Reform party source confirmed to Press Association.

The three defections are the first since Danny Kruger, the sitting MP for East Wiltshire, left the Tories to Reform in September.

A Reform party source said: “The Conservative Party is dead. Only Reform can beat Labour at the next election as the polls show time and time again.”
