"We have had a year of stasis and drift and the sham unity that comes from not doing anything bold or difficult or controversial and the result is in the polls. And those voters aren't coming back, and every day, more and more people are joining them in deserting the party that has failed."
"It won't be a series of soundbites in a manifesto. It'll be a properly worked out plan with a serious legislative programme and a programme of change in the system itself. And I hope that that will convince serious-minded voters, including in the mainstream, in the centre of politics, who want to get shot of this failing Labour Government."
Danny Kruger, MP for East Wiltshire, has defected from the Conservative Party to Reform UK and will help the party prepare for government. He described his defection as personally painful and warned that the Conservative Party is over, blaming a year of stasis, drift and sham unity that failed to take bold or difficult decisions. He urged colleagues who share his view to join Reform and acknowledged uncertainty about other defections. Kruger said Reform has no track record in office but intends to develop a serious legislative programme and systemic reforms to attract mainstream voters who oppose the current Labour government.
