London* gets its first Reform MP: Andrew Rosindell.
*Admittedly Andrew dislikes being part of London so much he has repeatedly campaigned for his constituency to be moved into Essex.

And there's #LeeAnderson who wasn't #ReformUK until 2024, before that he had been a #ConsParty MP, was re-elected as Reform UK at #GE2024, before he was a Cons MP, he was a councillor who defected from #LabourParty to Cons Party.
NEW: Another Conservative MP defects to Reform, just days after Robert Jenrick.
Andrew Rosindell becomes Reform’s seventh MP.
Put another way 43% of Reform’s serving MPs were Conservative MPs and were not elected as Reform.

If #RobertJenrick got rejected by #ReformUK, I think he'd probably defect to #AdvanceUK, party formed as a breakaway from RUK.
Or, if he thought his political career was over, he might take the #ChilternHundreds or #ManorofNorthstead, which would leave #KemiBadenoch facing a difficult by-election.

the dream outcome here is obvs for Reform actually to reject Robert Jenrick, he ends up sitting as an independent and never being heard of again, beyond guest appearance in Christmas special of Celebrity Traitors 2027

I begun doubting Robert Jenrick's plotting skills when he couldn't work out who the MP for Hounslow Heath was when he kindly visited the Car Boot Sale.
He informed John McDonnell who represents a constituency that doesn't even border mine!

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.
