Lee Anderson, a former Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, has defected to the Nigel Farage-founded Reform UK Party, citing concerns about mass migration, crime, and the stifling of free speech within the Conservative Party. His move is seen as a boost for Reform UK, which is gaining traction in national polls.
