Former Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defects to Reform UK

Former Conservative Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has defected to Reform UK, citing the UK's 'dark and dangerous' moment and the need for a 'glorious revolution'. Zahawi, who served as chancellor for two months under Boris Johnson and as a minister from 2018 to 2023, is the most senior former Tory to join Nigel Farage's party. He criticized the current state of the UK, including crime, lack of growth, and illegal migration, and expressed his belief that Reform UK is the party that can deliver for the nation.
