Overview
- A Reform UK spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that Thomas Skinner has joined the party.
- Nigel Farage revealed the move with a photo on X captioned "Bosh! @iamtomskinner," which Skinner echoed in his reply.
- Skinner had told LBC earlier this month that he would vote for Reform and he criticised career politicians, saying Keir Starmer was out of his depth.
- The signing adds to Reform UK's recent influx of prominent figures, with reports noting Conservative defections by Nadhim Zahawi, Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell.
- Reaction on X included support from Reform backers, while a separate exchange saw Skinner post a topless retort to a critic on Tuesday night.
