Jenrick Hails Rosindell’s Switch to Reform UK, Urges More Conservatives to Follow

On 19 January 2026, GB News broadcast a clip of former cabinet minister Robert Jenrick applauding Andrew Rosindell after his 2025 defection from the Conservatives to Reform UK. Jenrick called Rosindell a "true patriot" and urged other Tory MPs to leave the party, warning that the Tories have not learned their lessons. He hinted that Nigel Farage would welcome more defectors ahead of the May 2026 UK general election. The interview highlighted growing fractures within the Conservative Party, with Reform UK positioning itself as a viable alternative for right‑wing voters dissatisfied with traditional Tory leadership.
