Reform UK faces criticism over its "one in, one out" policy after an MP resigned amid loan misuse allegations.

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, faces criticism for a "one in, one out" policy after MP James McMurdock resigned following allegations of misuse of COVID-19 loans. The party has lost two MPs but gained a Labour-held constituency. Conservative MP Kemi Badenoch criticized defectors to Reform UK, including former Conservative chairman Sir Jake Berry, likening their behavior to that in a "banana republic." Farage's party is gaining support from high-profile Conservative defectors, raising questions about its appeal on the right.
