Politics Jonathan Gullis Reform UK
In this week’s least shocking news, former Tory MP Jonathan Gullis has defected to Reform UK – 19 votes of no confidence
In case anyone was wondering what Jonathan Gullis is up to these days (which they weren’t), he’s been weighing up his political future and has decided to throw his extra-large hat in the ring with Reform UK.
Two more Conservative MP rejects hop over to Reform UK. Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici.
More and more, Reform UK looks simply as if the Tories ran off stage, then came back on two minutes lates, wearing a comedy moustache-and-glasses disguise. ~AA

The former Tory Party chair, who was MP for Stoke-on-Trent North until being booted out at the last election, had publicly bemoaned his inability to return to the teaching profession, so ‘any port in a storm’, right?
Fresh from complaining about not being able to find work outside of Parliament, Jonathan Gullis will now chance his arm as a Reform member

Unfortunately for Gullis – and Reform MP Richard Tice, the internet keeps the receipts, and this intriguing message (or threat) from Tice to Gullis has popped up again.
Pretty awkward for Gullis & Tice…

Even without the kompromat, people were sceptical that the move would do either Gullis or Reform any good. Here are the reactions that caught our eye.

Wait! He hadn't already?
Reform really getting the dream team of Gullis, Dorries and Jenkyns.

We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Gullis to Reform UK. I had to calm down Lee Anderson, who was concerned that he may no longer be the thickest twat in the party.

Thinking despicable ape Gullis is a "win" says everything about the calibre of your political organisation

Scratching my head as to why three former Tory MPs who all lost their seats in the general election have defected to Reform

Jonathan Gullis has defected to Reform.
What a coup for them!
Jonathan will add:
Hair
Grunts
An odour of hay
An itchy hole
Fungi
Wrinkled shirts
Porridge
Jizz
Conker hairs
Squirrel food
And damp patches wherever he sits.
He truly will be a great asset.— Sir Michael Take CBE (@sirmichaeltake.bsky.social) December 1, 2025 at 11:35 AM

The only surprise here was that I'd assumed Gullis had already gone to Reform.

More Tory defectives for Farage…
Gullis, Lia Nici and Chris Green, all booted out as Tory MPs at the last GE.
Farage truly is building an alternative to the Tory party…out of the…er…dregs of the Tory party.

Misread the "news" about Seagullis and thought it said he was defective, then realised it was he'd *defected* to Reform.
Both still work.
