Robert Jenrick has defected to Reform UK, a move he claims is uniting the right. However, the impact of this defection is uncertain, with some outlets suggesting it could lead to a bigger fight on the right or kill the chance of a Tory-Reform pact, while others consider its consequences and potential effects on voters. The defection has prompted reactions from other politicians, including a call for the right to unite and plans for the Tories to increase criticism of Reform's economic policy.
