Factbox-Britain’s shifting political scene | defections to Nigel Farage’s Reform

LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party is benefiting from a raft of high-profile defections from the centre-right Conservative party, with Robert Jenrick the biggest name yet to announce he is switching. Led by the veteran Brexit campaigner, the anti-immigration Reform UK party is currently leading the polls in Britain, positioning itself as a genuine threat to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and the Conservatives, who lost a 2024 election after 14 years in power. A current member of parliament, Jenrick came second to Kemi Badenoch in the 2024 race to lead the Conservatives. He joined Reform on Thursday, hours after she fired him, saying he was plotting to defect. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
