Tory Councillors say they are being offered jobs and seats to defect to Reform

Conservative councillors nationwide have told PoliticsHome they are being offered senior roles and parliamentary selection to defect to Reform UK in the coming months.

Reform leader Nigel Farage recently said that the 7 May local elections would be the deadline for current Tories to switch to his party.

Last week, former shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick became the most high-profile politician to defect from the Conservatives to Reform.
