Nigel, the rag n bone man

Here is a list of former Conservative ministers, MPs and current MPs who have defected to Reform:

Robert Jenrick

Danny Kruger

Andrew Rosindell

Lee Anderson

Suella Braverman

Nadhim Zahawi

Nadine Dorries

David Jones

Lia Nici

Jonathan Gullis

Andrea Jenkyns

Jake Berry

Adam Holloway

Ben Bradley

Chris Green

Sarah Atherton

Maria Caulfield

Anne Marie Morris

Ross Thomson

Alan Amos

Marco Longhi

Aidan Burley

Lucy Allan

For the most part these are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, nor do many have any apparent talent. I'm looking at you, Gullis. Many were Ministers at one time or another in the various Conservate Governments from 2010 onwards, or blowhards for Brexit, in love with Boris, but all part of the same former political party that Governed the country, which they now claim is a broken Britain.

Note, not UK.

Jenrick and Braverman were Home Secretaries, and Jenrick was the Home Secretary that had the bright idea of stopping asylum applications to create the crisis of hotels overflowering with asylum seekers.

Something he now seems to have forgotten. And people who could have executed whatever policy thay wanted, certainly after 2019 when Johnson won a lanslide, so could have fixed the issue, had it have politically beneficial to do so.

Instead he and Braverman played politics and the racist card with the most desperate of people, because it made them look tough. And cruel. Though cruel is what they are.

So, Farage has filled his "Party" with Tory rejects, the people who created the situations through Brexit and failed immigration, who most of them claim the party they left, The Conservative and Union Party, broke Britain, which they were members of.

We can only hope that the electroate sees it the same way, failed politicians for a failed party trying to enact failed policies.
