WATCH: Danny Kruger admits Reform defection is a ‘significant personal risk’

Tory MP Danny Kruger has admitted he has made a “significant personal risk” after announcing his defection to Reform UK.

The representative for Devizes in East Wiltshire has declared that the “Conservative Party is over” as he announced his defection.

Speaking to national media, Mr Kruger said: “This is a big risk for me. And in fact, my seat is not particularly a Reform target, although Reform are doing well even in east Wiltshire at the moment.

“So I don’t accept that I’m simply jumping ship to save my skin and that I’m taking a very significant personal risk here.”
