'Jenrick revealed part of his personality I hadn't seen before' | Katie Lam on Reform defection

Katie Lam has dismissed rumours she is set to defect to Reform, while launching a scathing attack on former colleague Robert Jenrick.

In an exclusive interview with GB News, Ms Lam accused Mr Jenrick of dishonesty and said his departure from the party had revealed a side of his character she had not previously seen.

Speaking to Gloria De Piero in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday afternoon, Ms Lam was asked about her relationship with Mr Jenrick, whom she had supported in the Conservative leadership race.

She said: “We still don't talk. I haven't spoken to him. I haven't heard from him since he left the party. It's a funny combination of the political and the professional and the personal. It is sad, and it is hurtful when anybody, when any voter, when any councillor, an MP leaves the party to go anywhere else. It's particularly difficult when somebody is being quite dishonest for quite a long time. It is really difficult if, you know, when you've been at events and you've heard somebody say all of these things that clearly can't really have been true?”

Ms Lam said the episode had left her questioning her own judgement.
