A prominent Welsh Tory has been thrown out of the group in Wales’ parliament for saying he was thinking about defecting to Reform, his party leader has said.
James Evans has been removed from the shadow cabinet by leader Darren Millar and had the whip withdrawn, making him an independent.
Millar said he did so on Tuesday morning “after being informed by James that he was continuing to engage with Reform representatives about the possibility of defecting to the party in spite of his personal assurances on Friday that he had rejected an approach they initiated last week”.
James Evans has been approached for comment.
