Complicit In The Surrender

Andrew Rosindell is right about the Conservative line on Chagos. As a Shadow Foreign Office Minister, he set it. He is also one of what is now the majority of Reform UK MPs in having been elected as a Conservative in 2019. During the last Parliament, when did he rebel?

Nigel Farage's claim that Reform needed people who had been in government is the opposite of its electoral pitch on the ground, and it does not apply in any way to Rosindell. It barely applies to Danny Kruger, who has also never been a Minister despite having gone straight from being Boris Johnson's Political Secretary to being a member of Johnson's landslide intake. But Rosindell is just one of those parliamentary "characters", primarily noted for his dog.
