Robert Jenrick said he hopes his decision to defect to Reform UK will “unite the right” and urged the public to “rally behind Nigel Farage”.
Speaking to the BBC on Friday, Mr Jenrick said his defection was not driven by political ambition but by a belief it was the “right thing to do”. He said he had taken the decision to join Reform “over a period of time” and called Thursday a “huge” day for him.
