Nadhim Zahawi, former Conservative chancellor, has defected to Reform UK and is the most senior ex-Conservative to join that party. He stood down as an MP at the last election. He was motivated by the imposition of high taxes and censorship and described the nation's 'beautiful, magical ancient island story' as having reached a dark and dangerous chapter. He acknowledged that many in his former party would be surprised by his decision. The move represents the highest-profile defection from Conservative ranks to Reform UK to date. Further details were indicated to be forthcoming.
