Former Tory MP Sarah Atherton joins Reform UK, citing military neglect and leaving over party loyalty.
Former Conservative MP Sarah Atherton, who served as armed forces minister for 37 days under Liz Truss, has joined Reform UK, citing systemic failures in supporting the UK’s armed forces, including low troop numbers, poor housing, and missed recruitment targets.
She criticized both major parties for neglecting military personnel and said her departure was a principled stand over party loyalty.
The move adds to a growing number of Conservative defectors to Reform UK, occurring amid poor polling for the Conservatives ahead of their upcoming conference.
