Caulfield served as the MP for Lewes for almost nine years before losing her seat to the Lib Dems in the Tory wipe-out last year.
Caulfield, who returned to her nursing career after leaving Parliament, told GB News that “the future is Reform” and that the Conservative Party had become “less and less what I believe in.”
“The same people who thought that Brexit would not happen think that Reform will not happen. They are in for a shock.”
The Conservative leader said “there will be some people who won’t be patient” with her Party’s pace of change, and suggested there could be more defections if Nigel Farage’s Reform maintains its polling lead.
“There will be some people who won’t be patient and just want to jump to the party that’s doing well in the polls.”

Matt Hinton, a deputy chairman at the East Wiltshire Conservative Association, said Kruger only informed Tory members in the constituency of his planned defection 15 minutes before the announcement was made to the media.
He added: “His views on abortion and women’s rights were never something that people in the constituency really supported, and perhaps he’s found his natural home.”
He told The Times: “We’ve got a couple of bars here that have to be cleared. Number one, we have to see if they genuinely, in policy terms, are with us – and secondly, that they’re coming not for a meal ticket, but to add to our movement, to add to our party and what we are trying to do.”
“Nigel Farage’s party is a comfortable home for Conservatives who trashed Britain’s public services and crashed the economy, saddling families with sky-high mortgages and prices.”

Sir John Hayes
The MP for his Lincolnshire constituency, South Holland and the Deepings, since 1997, Sir John was an arch Brexiteer and supporter of Braverman, and his views are considered sufficiently right-wing as to be a suitable fit for Reform. A former transport minister, in 2021 Sir John was in a list of 11 MPs, all Conservative, who made significantly more money through outside interests than through being a constituency MP.
Lord Frost
Lord Frost said on Monday that many Tory MPs were thinking that “maybe it’s time for me to go too.” He was referring to party MPs in general, but it would not be surprising for this former – if failed – Brexit secretary to cross the floor. In May, he told The Telegraph: “I’m not emotionally committed to the Conservatives in the way that others are. I want the party that is going to do the job and get the job done, and let’s see how that plays out.”
