Andrew Rosindell has become the latest Conservative MP to join Reform UK.

The Romford MP said last night that he was quitting his role as shadow foreign office minister in Kemi Badenoch’s frontbench and as a member of the Tory Party.

He wrote on X: “Since joining the Conservative Party at the age of 14, I have been a loyal and committed supporter of the principles advocated by Margaret Thatcher that have always underpinned my own political beliefs.

“However, the time has come to put country before party.

“The failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty, represents a clear red line for me.”

It comes after Robert Jenrick switched to Nigel Farage’s insurgent party last Thursday.
