Claims that Labour MPs could swap to the Reform Party have been dismissed by the shadow Paymaster General.

Jonathan Ashworth said Reform leader Richard Tice was "pulling your leg" when saying Labour MPs could defect to his party.

It came after former Conservatives Party deputy chairman Lee Andersson, who had been suspended, became Reform's first MP.
