Why has Robert Jenrick defected to Reform UK? | BBC News


In the 2,000th episode of Newscast, Adam and Chris return for second helpings as UK shadow cabinet minister Robert Jenrick’s defection to Reform is confirmed.

Following his dramatic sacking via social media this morning, Jenrick appeared on stage with Reform leader Nigel Farage this afternoon to announce that he was joining the party.

Farage told reporters that although they had been negotiating the possibility of Jenrick joining Reform – the deal wasn’t done until Kemi Badenoch made her move this morning.
