Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has teased even more defections to his party after offering an invitation to MPs during his press conference today.

Speaking to GB News, Mr Farage said: "I've been on stage, but I can feel the phone buzzing. We only want people to come to us who will add to us, I don't want people to come to us because they see us as a life raft for their career.

"So I've set this deadline of May the 7th. They will attempt to say we're Tory 2.0, we're not. We're a very distinct, different brand. We're appalled by what the last Conservative Government did, this Government now is even worse.

"But if there are people out there like Robert Jenrick, prepared to put their hands up and say, I'm ashamed of what we did and the country needs to be turned around and they want to put their shoulder to the wheel, they're very welcome."
