Reform UK continues to become the home of failed Tory politicians, after yet another former Conservative MP defected to Nigel Farage’s party.

Despite just four months ago Zia Yusuf vowing that no more Tories would be joining the party, Jane Stevenson who was elected the Tory MP Wolverhampton North East in 2019, but lost her seat to Labour at the 2024 general election, has now defected to Reform.

She told the BBC that she wanted to pursue “more radical solutions to our country’s problems”.

“I especially like Reform’s work from Danny Kruger on reducing and reorganising Whitehall/quangos and bringing back ministerial power and accountability,” she said.

So much for Reform being anti-establishment, the party is now the refuge of failed Tories.
