A prominent Welsh Conservative is being kicked out of the party for telling its leader he was thinking about defecting to Reform.
James Evans has been sacked from the shadow cabinet and had the whip withdrawn making him an independent, Tory Senedd leader Darren Millar said.
Evans confirmed in a statement that he was being ousted from the party which he said no longer represents his values. Reform has been asked to comment.
Speaking to Teleri Glyn Jones on Politics Wales on Sunday 18, he refused to answer whether he was going to defect to Reform.
