Tory MP Nick Fletcher endorses Reform UK's Lee Anderson for Westminster, despite Anderson's party defection.

Tory MP Nick Fletcher has endorsed Reform UK's Lee Anderson to return to Westminster, despite Anderson defecting from the Conservative party earlier this year. Fletcher's endorsement has drawn calls for his suspension from the party. This comes after Anderson announced he will not be campaigning against four of his former Tory colleagues, stating that friendship is more important than political differences.
