Apparently Scott Benton could be the next ex-Tory MP to jump ship. Given that he was forced to stand down as an MP after being embroiled in a lobby scandal I'm not sure he will be much of an asset to the party.

None of the former Tory re-treads is going to be much of an asset to Reform. They really are a one-man band - as demonstrated by the way that Farage effortlessly elbowed Tice out the way to become leader. This is also why it is a good idea to target Farage by exposing his bigotry and racism. He is both Reform’s strength, and its Achilles Heel.

His "possible" connections to the basket case that is the modern-day kleptocracy of Russia should also be ramped up.

The more washed-up Tory cast-offs Reform picks up, either the more it undermines its assertion to be a new broom, the more likely it is to split the vote in places that voted for these cranks in the first place (I can include my own constituency in that), or both.

Let 'em get on with it.

The more Nigel can get in between him and it all going tits up, the easier it will be for him to pass the blame. (See also Brexit, and do you ever hear him “supporting” all the local councils that went to Reform)
