Two former Conservative ministers were reunited during the BBC's election coverage. One told the other that he had not spoken to her since leaving the Conservative Party in January. She added that she had considered them to be very good friends.
The exchange occurred as part of the broadcaster's reporting on election results. The former immigration minister had been in the shadow cabinet before defecting to Reform UK in January. The former health secretary continues to serve as a member of the shadow cabinet.
The reunion took place more than three months after the defection. The former health secretary made her remarks during the live broadcast. No response from the other former minister was detailed in the coverage.
