More than 1,000 people have joined Reform UK after ex-Tory vice-chairman Lee Anderson's dramatic defection. The former Brexit Party – which is polling as high as 14 per cent – has seen a swell in support in recent months as voters lose faith in both the Tories and Labour.
More than 1,000 people have joined Reform UK after ex- Tory vice-chairman Lee Anderson 's dramatic defection.
Reform UK leader Richard Tice told GB News yesterday: 'A record number of over 1,000 new members joining Reform in one day is proof just how popular Lee Anderson is with many Red Wall voters. He will be such a powerful Red Wall champion for us.' But Mr Anderson did not speak in the debate and only remained in the Commons chamber for a few minutes before leaving. Earlier, he had taken part in a cross-party session for the Home Affairs select committee.
Mr Anderson had the Conservative whip suspended last month after suggesting Islamists had 'got control' of London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Pictured: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
