An ex-Tory minister and arguably Boris Johnson’s biggest fan has defected to Reform UK.
Nadine Dorries, who has previously served as culture secretary and health minister under the former Conservative PM, said she believes her former party is ‘dead’.

She had been a member of the Conservative Party for 30 years – but has now left to join Nigel Farage’s party.
