Jeremy Balfour, a Tory MSP and social justice spokesperson, has resigned from the Conservative Party citing its 'reactionary politics.' This follows earlier defections such as Jamie Greene's move to the Liberal Democrats. The political landscape in the UK appears increasingly fragmented, with the Reform Party gaining traction, particularly in Tory strongholds in southern England. Recent polling indicates that 28% of Labour Party members are considering defecting to Jeremy Corbyn's newly formed party, which is planning to establish a Scottish branch. Corbyn has emphasized a commitment to uniting communities and opposing attacks on refugees and asylum seekers. The share of 2024 Tory voters switching to Reform has nearly doubled from 16% to 31% since the start of the year. Labour leader Keir Starmer faces criticism over his record amid ongoing immigration challenges, inflation pressures, and the rising threat from Reform. Corbyn is also reportedly plotting a union pact to challenge Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner. The evolving dynamics suggest a realignment on the right with Reform and the Liberal Democrats exerting pressure on the Conservatives, raising questions about the future space for the Tory Party under the first-past-the-post electoral system.
