Tory MP and shadow minister Danny Kruger defects to Reform

Conservative MP Danny Kruger has defected from the party, joining the Reform UK political party. Kruger, who previously served as a shadow minister, cited the Conservative Party's failure to provide effective opposition as the reason for his defection. In his statement, Kruger expressed his belief that the Conservatives are no longer the primary opposition party, and that Reform UK better represents his political views and the concerns of his constituents. He emphasized the need for a stronger voice in challenging the government's policies. The move has been seen as a significant blow to the Conservative Party, as Kruger was considered a rising star within the party. The defection also highlights the ongoing tensions and divisions within the Conservative ranks, as the party navigates a challenging political landscape.
