Badenoch says Tories who 'want to jump ship' to Farage's Reform 'welcome to do so'
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 10 – Kemi Badenoch criticized Tory defectors as not real Conservatives and said those wanting higher taxes and welfare should join other parties, following several high-profile defections.
- On Wednesday evening, Sir Jake Berry, who previously served as chairman of the Conservative Party, declared his decision to join Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, adding to a recent wave of Tory departures.
- The defections followed dissatisfaction with Conservative policies and raised questions about whether Reform is a stronger electoral option for right-wing politicians.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized the defectors for behaving 'like they do in banana republics' and insisted the Conservatives have a credible government plan.
- Badenoch said that those unwilling to contribute to a solid policy strategy and eager to leave the party are free to do so, emphasizing that the Conservatives remain the only serious and credible choice.
- These developments highlight internal Conservative divisions and suggest the party will emphasize fiscal restraint and welfare reform to appeal to voters at the next general election.
