Danny Kruger, a Conservative lawmaker and former speechwriter for David Cameron and Boris Johnson, has defected to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, he said at a Reform press conference on Monday. The announcement was confirmed in reporting by Reuters.

A painful decision after two decades inside the party

Kruger said he has been a member, activist and employee of the Conservative Party for over 20 years and that he counts “many good and decent people” among his friends there — which made his defection “so personally painful.”

Why he left: “The Conservative Party is over”

At the press conference Kruger framed his move as a tragic conclusion: “the Conservative Party is over, over as a national party, over as the principal opposition to the left,” he said, signalling deep dissatisfaction with the party’s direction.

Background: Kruger’s political CV

Kruger was elected as an MP in 2019 and has served as a welfare spokesman for the opposition Conservatives. His résumé also includes stints as a speechwriter for then-prime ministers David Cameron and — in 2019 — Boris Johnson.
