Another former Tory MP defects to Reform UK

Another former Tory MP has defected to join Reform UK in a further boost to Nigel Farage's party.

Adam Holloway, who was Conservative MP for Gravesham between 2005 and 2024, was today revealed to have switched his political allegiance.

The 60–year–old, a former government whip under PMs Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, claimed only Reform's leadership and voters 'grasp the scale of our national peril'.

There has been a steady stream of Tory defections to Reform since last year's general election, which saw an historic defeat for the Conservatives.

Mr Holloway joins Sir Jake Berry, Andrea Jenkyns, Marco Longhi, Ross Thomson, and David Jones as ex–Tory MPs to have joined Reform in the last 12 months.
