The Reform UK Defections & Resignations Tracker

Reform UK wants power. But the party is haemorrhaging the people it recruits, with representatives resigning, being suspended or quitting Nigel Farage's outfit. Reform UK then mops up failed Conservatives to fill the gaps in its ranks. Much of this goes unreported - even though the pattern is the story.

That's why we built the Reform UK Defections & Resignations Tracker, using publicly sourced data to map who's moved to Reform UK, who's left, and who's trying to walk away from a job they were elected to do.

This is a public record of:

• Politicians who have left the Conservative Party to join Reform UK;
• Reform UK councillors elected in May 2026, who have since resigned, been suspended or quit the party.

Every entry links to a publicly available source.
