Will Reform's rise spur more people to the polling station at the next GE to make a tactical vote? Reformers are too bound up in their own hubris and bubble to understand how loathed Farage is by those who don't support him.

Now they have Jenrick to repel people who don't mind Farage and might vote Reform.

It will be interesting to see how the likes of Lee Anderson react to being pushed down the Reform pecking order by the recent arrivals from the Tory Part. Anderson already gets over looked for TV appearances with Zia Yusuf and Laila Cunningham getting the gigs ahead of him.

It's all news as drama, Farage or his advisers know this.

Witness how each new defector has been top of the pops for days or a week.
Then the news cycle moves on.

Jenrick may think he's headed for a nice Deputy PM post.
A few things there:
* He combines the charisma of JD Vance, the likeability of JD Vance and the competence of JD Vance.
* Dubai Dickie, 30p Lee and Danny "Dunning" Kruger will all claim seniority (and all have better alliterative nicknames for their Sun reading followers).
* The next defection will push him down the queue like a cheap PEZ dispenser.

These defectors have a glaring weakness.
They're all from the Johnson's jolly band - and none of them can show us the 40 hospitals.
