Newly defected Reform UK member Robert Jenrick has told GB News he “proud” of his decision and to “play a part” in the success of Nigel Farage’s party.
Answering GB News Political Editor Christopher Hope’s question, Mr Jenrick said: “I’ve joined this party as the 270,000th or something member, and I’m proud to do so. And to work not just with Nigel, but with a set of people I’ve come to know over a period of time, some for a very long time, like my constituency neighbour Lee Anderson, others like Richard and Sarah and Zia, who have built this party from nothing, and I’m just here to play my part, to lend my support and experience, to making it the greatest success that it possibly can be for the sake of the country.
“Yes, it’s a sad day for me to leave a party that I’ve been a part of for so long. It’s sad also because I know there are very good people within the Conservative Party. There are good members of Parliament, there are good counsellors. There are good members of the party, more than anyone in the current Conservative Party.
“And so my message to them is Reform is here for anyone who shares this conviction that the country needs to be fixed and turned around, and we can’t let party loyalty get in the way of fixing our country. That’s what really matters.”
