Dame Andrea Jenkyns has claimed "I'm a fighter" after she vowed to fight to stop "socialists" from the Labour Party from "taking the helm of government".
This comes after Lee Anderson crossed the floor today and became the first MP for the Reform Party.
Anderson was suspended as a Conservative MP after refusing to apologise for claiming Islamists had "control" of London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
The former Conservative MP announced his defection to the party yesterday, saying he is "prepared to gamble" on himself.

"We've got to take control of immigration, we can't have a two-tier policing system
"We've seen with the Lee Anderson comment that people are afraid to express their opinions.

"I still think that the only way our party can be saved is by getting a new leader, I've been saying this since November.
"We need to turn to our common sense roots and start channeling Thatcher, and Churchill, the great forefathers of our party."
GB News Political reporter Chris Hope asked her: "Andrea you put a letter in of no confidence in the PM. Do you want to fight the next election under him or would you join Reform UK?
She responded: "We are where we are. If I won't be pushed out by the Liberals in the party as we've seen in recent years, party leaders come and go, but ultimately I'm a conservative and I'm fighting for our party as well as our country.

PA"Will I go to another party? I got offered this time. I got offered previously with other parties during the Brexit years.
"I want to fight. I'm a fighter, Chris. And where we're hearing there's potentially 10 people who might cross the floor, I do question how advanced these conversations are.
"Because speaking to colleagues, as I have done today whose names have been banded around, they ain't going anyway Chris."
She added: "I've lost half of my members since Rishi became leader. So I think unfortunately that speaks volumes. I listen to my constituents, I listen to my party members. And it's a sad place to be, it's sad for any conservative being in this place at the moment. But we've got to fight.
"We can't give up, there's so much apathy and you can see MPs are down, but God, we've got to fight.
"We've got to fight to stop these socialists taking the helm of the government. And I mean, if we think immigration's bad now, God, what's it going to be like under Labour?"
