15:31Now PlayingConservative leader Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick 'with immediate effect' over a 'secret plot' to defect to Reform UK:
The Conservative MP for Newark was removed from the Shadow Cabinet and had his party membership suspended after the Tory leader put an end to what she termed "political psychodrama".
The Tory leader did not specify which party Mr Jenrick was planning to switch to, but Reform UK leader Nigel Farage confirmed minutes later that he has “of course” had conversations with the senior Tory.
Describing how she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence" of his intended defection, Badenoch stated that the MP was not simply "preparing to defect" but "planning to do so in the most damaging way possible to the Conservative Party and his Shadow Cabinet colleagues".
Mr Jenrick is said to have left material 'lying around' that demonstrated his intentions and sparked the action - reportedly a speech and a ‘media plan’.
Jenrick is expected to join a growing list of Conservatives who have defected from the party to Reform UK in recent months.
