The Conservative Party and Reform UK are like a “family feud” and the family needs to be brought back together again, according to a Tory MP. 

Andrew Rosindell said Reform was “essentially a breakaway from the Conservative Party” and members of each were likely to agree on the vast majority of policy issues. 

He told GB News: “I think we need in this country a proper right of centre party, a Conservative Party that upholds the traditional values of this country.”

He added: “Reform is essentially a breakaway from the Conservative Party. The vast majority of people in Reform are the kind of people that I could sit with and agree on, about 90 per cent of things, and most of them are ex-Conservative members. So this is a family feud. That’s how I see it. 

“We need to bring the family back together again, because the real enemy of this country is socialism.”
