Nadhim Zahawi defects to reform
Jump to: Newest in thread
Former Tory chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has said the UK is ‘sick’
Zahawi previously claimed £5,822.27 for his horses stables electricity bill on MP expenses which were paid by the taxpayer.
He has now defected to Reform UK
Is this an indication of more defections to strengthen reform? |

In one week Reform has chosen a Muslim woman to be its candidate for London Mayor and now recruited an Iraqi born politician to presumably lead on economic policies, joining the current Muslim Head of Policy.
For a racist gammon party it really needs to do better ! |

Powerful stuff from Nadim today:
"Is there not still a teacher in hiding in Batley?
Is there not an attempt by the CPS to introduce blasphemy laws by the back door?
Just last week did we not learn that a police force whose response to uncovering a plot by a group of muslims in the west midlands to organise into an armed militia and commit pogrom against jewish football fans, was to lie! To lie to the public and blame the Jews.
This is a sickness in the heart of our country, that for forty years we have let fester.
We should have nipped the political islam in Britain in the bud the moment there were protests against an author for the crime of writing a book.
Some of the biggest victims of these Muslim Brotherhood fanatics may be the millions of moderate decent patriotic British muslims."

You haven seen the wing of the reform uk online that are livid they chose her as their candidate! Besides… she is absolutely awful at interviews.. If GB news can tear her a good one, lord knows what the real media will do
And as for nadim… I don’t think someone who got sacked for breaking the ministerial code.. and then had to settle a tax bill for £5 million… is going to really help the cause
There is only so much mileage you can get out of “old Tory defects to new tories” |

It doesn't really inspire confidence in those sick of the Conservative / Labour uniparty. It sounds like the Conservatives in a skin suit. Watch Farage get elected, then backstabbed once the party is in power. |

Yeah I think it's a strategic mistake for Reform to take people who are jumping ship. For one thing, Reform tries to project itself as a party that's going to govern differently and taking people like Zahawi who have been in the ruling party for such a long time doesn't really inspire confidence. And the other problem is it's clear that the politicians jumping from Tories to reform are jumping to protect themselves and not for any ideological reasons. These politicians could turn out to liabilities in an election. |

A man who admits his government failures that he was central to, is hardly something to be proud about  . He wanted to get into the House of Lords but the Cons wouldn't sink that low, despite multiple attempts
Is he just using Reformed Conservatives as his way to the Lords, should Nigel want to help it be more Reform loaded. We're obviously not privy to what he wants and has maybe agreed. It's not the look of a trustworthy party, not the majority of people inside it. But he needs the gravy train to continue, like the rest of them |

"Good to see Big Nigel picking up another man of the people, I mean who among us hasn't forgotten to pay 7 million in tax or submitted a dodgy expense claim to heat their horses stables  "

There's definitely a danger of what you describe but potential benefits also. One of Reform's weakest points is a lack of experience so a few people who have held office could help with that. Despite his dodgy tax records Nadhim seems like a super smart guy who's been very successful in business. I do agree he'll have his own agenda but that's true of all politicians. |

Wonder why the Tories would spread negative stories about him, it will remain a mystery I guess!
He is also super rich so doesn't exactly need the gravy train. |

Very much agree that this helps with Reforms lack of experience problem but does not help with the accusations that Reform are just Tory party 2.0
According to an article, Reform have turned down several Tory Mo's so guess they are sensitive to this accusation |
