DEVELOPING: Former Conservative Minister Abruptly Joins Reform Party in Shocking Defection

BREAKING NEWS: Former Conservative Minister Maria Caulfield Joins Reform Party Former Conservative health minister Maria Caulfield has defected to Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party, becoming the latest Tory to join the party. This development comes just 24 hours after Danny Kruger became the first sitting Tory MP to defect. Caulfield lost her seat in last year's general election and told GB News she joined Reform a month ago because the Conservative Party had become "less and less what I believe in". She confirmed that she has joined as a member, making her the 15th former Tory MP to join the party. Reform UK needs experienced politicians like Caulfield who know the system, according to her. The party's message is resonating with Conservatives who feel their values are no longer represented by the main party. Caulfield's defection has significant implications for the Conservative Party and its future prospects. Her comments suggest that she believes Reform UK will become a major force in British politics.
