Reform has sent a round robin to all MPs today. The message – if you want our help on select committees, you need to help us…

The parliamentary squad is protesting its being “locked out” of select committees in favour of “political lightweights who understand nothing of how business operates“. All thanks to seat-based weighting…

Reform say MPs (Tory ones) have been getting in touch asking for support to elect committee chairmen. Their response: “We will only consider supporting candidates who will publicly support us in our quest to seek fairness and allow us to be allocated places on our Select Committees.” Seems fair…

Read the full letter below:

“Dear Member,

Over the past few weeks Reform UK MPs have received numerous requests from MPs needing our support to chair a Select Committee, and we suspect that in the coming months we will be inundated with emails from MPs canvassing our votes to get on the Select Committees as committee members.

As you are probably aware Reform UK despite gaining over 4 million votes at the election will not be allowed to have any MPs on the committees.

Therefore, we will only consider supporting candidates who will publicly support us in our quest to seek fairness and allow us to be allocated places on our Select Committees.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Lee Anderson MP
Nigel Farage MP
Richard Tice MP
Rupert Lowe MP
James McMurdock MP”
