Jenrick rules out defecting to Reform as Farage denies report of election pact with Tories

Jenrick says: ‘It wasn’t very long ago that I was running to be leader of the Conservative party, so I’m not going anywhere’

This is from Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, on Nigel Farage’s denial of the FT story. (See 9.33am.)

A handy reminder that in 2019 Farage did a deal to put Boris Johnson in No10 and push through his disastrous Brexit deal.

But instead of taking responsibility, of course Farage plays the victim.
