Another sensitive topic for Farage would be whether Jenrick should hold a by-election. His test (pre-Kruger) was a moral one: that it's "dishonourable" to switch allegiance without seeking a fresh mandate from voters.

In January 2022 Nigel Farage MP said that he’d always believed MP’s who defected should hold a by-election and said it was an insult to voters not to offer them another vote. So why didn’t Reform hold a by-election when Lee Anderson MP, Danny Kruger, and Robert Jenrick defected?

Left: Danny Kruger says he won't hold a by-election now that he's switched from Conservative to Reform Right: That time Nigel Farage said an MP was dishonourable if he doesn't have a by-election after changing parties

Interesting that when Nigel Farage MP was leading UKIP - his party du jour - he allegedly insisted that any defectors must trigger a by election & to fail to do so is “dishonourable” & an “insult to voters”, acknowledging that most voters vote for the party leader, not the individual candidate. What’s changed?

Wow! Nigel Farage just resigned from Parliament … to trigger a by-election … a by-election he will then contest to win. Sounds like he wants a fresh mandate after desperate BS mud was thrown at him by the corporate media. @nigel_farage

“Do you think there should be a by-election in Newark?” Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake tells Andrew Marr it would be ‘the right thing to do’ to call a by-election now that Robert Jenrick has defected to Reform.

😹 😆 😹 Robert Jenrick says a Farage victory in Clacton would send a “powerful signal”. Tim Stanley wasn’t convinced: “So the message to the wider electorate is… Farage can beat a field of one talking bin?” Robert Jenrick: “Nigel Farage had the courage to put himself up for a by-election, which very few people do in politics.” Tim Stanley: “Well, you didn’t.” Jenrick: “Well… quite.” Sometimes the best interview moments need no commentary. 🤣

June 2025, Lowe says his preference would be for a 'reformed Tory Party' to lead the right in 2029. He names Robert Jenrick and Danny Kruger as key people who might lead that effort. But now, Robert Jenrick is a tainted figure who can't be trusted. What changed Rupert?

Floor crossing should trigger an immediate by-election, whether federal or provincial. When an elected official switches parties, they betray the voters and volunteers who elected them under a specific banner. The public trust placed in them does not automatically transfer to a new party. If a member is so moved to join another side, they should resign and go back to the people to seek a fresh mandate. Anything less undermines our democracy. British Columbians and Canadians deserve better. Join me

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage announcing his resignation from Parliament before revealing he'll run in the by-election for his seat to let voters decide. Calling it a "people versus the establishment" contest, Farage says the people of Clacton—not the press—should be the judges of his political fate as he faces scrutiny over a $5 million donor gift and an ongoing parliamentary standards investigation.

🚨 Michael Crick asks the obvious question: If Nigel Farage believes MPs should seek a fresh mandate whenever circumstances change, why haven’t Conservative MPs who defected to Reform fought by-elections? Crick also points out the irony that while Farage presents himself as a champion of democracy, Reform has “very little internal democracy” - it’s a limited company dictatorship controlled by Farage!!!
