In a significant political shift, former Conservative Party chairman Sir Jake Berry has officially joined Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage. Berry stated that he is backing the party as he believes it represents the last chance to secure a better future for Britain, particularly for future generations. His defection is seen as a blow to current Conservative leadership, especially for Kemi Badenoch, and has drawn comments from other Tory figures regarding the ongoing exodus from the party. Accompanying Berry, former Tory cabinet minister David Jones has also defected to Reform UK, raising questions about the future direction of the Conservative Party as high-profile members continue to leave.
