Rishi Sunak faces calls to suspend the whip from another of his MPs after a backbencher endorsed Reform UK’s Lee Anderson.
This has drawn criticism from opposition parties, with the Liberal Democrats claiming even Conservative MPs do not want the party to succeed at the general election. The former Tory deputy chairman defected to Reform earlier this year, after he was stripped of the whip for suggesting London Mayor Sadiq Khan was being controlled by Islamist extremists.
Mr Fletcher issued a follow-up post stating: “For the avoidance of any doubt of course I want to see a Conservative majority Government returned at the next election with as many Conservative MPs as possible.The PA news agency understands that Mr Fletcher was spoken to by the Government’s Chief Whip Simon Hart.
Ms Dodds also asked if a deal with Reform had been ruled out and for confirmation that Nigel Farage would not be joining the Conservative Party. According to Conservative party rules, members are required to “sustain and promote the objects and values of the Conservative Party” and endorsing rival candidates could be grounds for a disciplinary investigation and potential expulsion.
