"Prince said that the Conservative Party is "over" and they are "done and dusted" and they are "no longer an effective opposition to this failing Labour government.""
"Prince said, "Today I join Reform UK after 49 years as a member of the Conservative Party. I am really excited to be a joining a party with a charismatic leader and a vision for a better Britain.""
"Shadow home secretary Chris Philp told BBC Breakfast, "Reform have slogans. They shoot from the hip. They write down slogans on the back of a fag packet. You remember last week Nigel Farage had some announcement, and it fell apart within about 10 minutes because he had forgotten about European Union citizens. What we have here is a very, very carefully thought-out position. It's taken months of legal work. We know exactly what the implications are for things like the Belfast Good Friday Agreement, the Trade and Co-operation Agreement. We know exactly how we can then use the freedom outside the ECHR to get control of our borders.""

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp criticised Reform's approach, while a Labour spokesperson attacked Kemi Badenoch's position.
