Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".
He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

"In April 2024 Gullis accepted a £10,000 donation from JCB; the newspaper Byline Times links this payment to Gullis's silence on JCB closing a facility entailing 200 job losses in his constituency, and contrasts it with his activity on the announcement of a facility closure by Johnson Tiles"

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.

Our media has become the story. What they decide is newsworthy, what they scream about, who they accuse, who they excuse, who they blame…
They have an agenda entirely of their own. Not one rooted in public interest or national responsibility. But one that is deeply rightwing and undemocratic.
