5:45Now PlayingFormer Conservative shadow minister Robert Jenrick has announced he is joining Reform UK, hours after he was sacked by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for plotting to defect to Nigel Farage's party.
Jenrick was unveiled at a press conference by Farage, who thanked Badenoch for expelling her former Tory leadership rival and helping "realign the centre-right of British politics".
In a scathing tirade against his old party and former colleagues, Jenrick said the Conservative Party "broke" the country and had "betrayed its voters".
Badenoch said it was a "good day" for the Conservatives and Jenrick was "no longer my problem, he is now Nigel Farage's problem".
