Former Tory James Evans has previously been critical of the party that announced him as a member today.
He accused Laura Anne Jones in July of having no principles after she left the Tories and was unveiled by Nigel Farage as the party’s first Senedd member.
He told Radio Wales Breakfast at the time:
“Laura and I have spoken, and I’ve made my opinions very clear. I don’t think she’s made the right decision.
“I am a firm believer, if you are elected as a Conservative member of the Senedd, you owe it to the electorate, you owe it to your party, to see your term of office out as a Conservative.”
“Jumping to Reform, it seems that she doesn’t have any principles.”
Evans also said at the time of Reform: “They’re not a credible option and they’re not a credible party.”
He today joins Jones as a Reform UK MS.
