This is a letter sent in by a reader regarding the defection of East Wiltshire MP Danny Kruger from the Conservative Party to Reform.

Kruger has been an MP since 2019 and sat on Tory leader Kemi Badenoch's team as a shadow work and pensions minister.

Marlborough resident David Chandler wrote:

The action of Danny Kruger in abandoning his party and those who voted for him last year to be their Conservative MP is one of deep treachery.

Reform finished fourth in the vote in that election and if Danny is honourable he would resign his seat and seek re-election at a bye election.

His constituents would then have an opportunity to give their verdict on his decision.
