Former I’m A Celeb star Nadine Dorries said the Tories ‘cannot win the next election’ as she confirmed she has switched sides to Nigel Farage’s Reform
Former Tory frontbencher and I’m A Celeb star Nadine Dorries has defected to Reform UK.
Ms Dorries, who has spent more than two years trying to convince the world that Boris Johnson was the victim of an underhand Conservative plot, whined that her old party is “dead”. In a brutal jibe at Kemi Badenoch she said: “The Conservative Party cannot win the next election. It removes election winning prime ministers, and replaces them with duds.”
The former Culture Secretary quit as an MP in 2023 and blamed “sinister forces” for her not being handed a peerage. At the time fellow Conservatives voiced their fury, with colleague Tobias Ellwood accusing her of a “selfish charade” while Sir Robert Neill said she had “become an embarrassment”.
