Montgomerie suspended from Reform UK without Farage's knowledge, he says

Tim Montgomerie told BBC Newsnight that Nigel Farage did not know about his suspension from Reform UK. The party acted after Montgomerie criticised home affairs spokesperson Zia Yusuf on a Spectator podcast. Montgomerie, who joined Reform from the Conservatives in 2024, said he will appeal, calling it a test case for free speech within the party.
