Richard Walker, the chairman of Iceland, has switched his support from the Conservative Party to the Labour Party, criticizing the Tories for failing the nation and being out of touch. He stated that the country is in a much worse state than it was 14 years ago under Conservative rule.
The Tories have hit back at Iceland boss Richard Walker after he 'defected' to back Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party - just months after begging them for a safe seat. Richard Walker , who was named on a list of Conservative MP candidates less than two years ago, said that the Tories had "failed the nation" since coming to power in 2010, adding that Rishi Sunak's party were "out of touch".
The Iceland chairman, who also said he wanted to be a Tory MP in February 2023 before quitting the party later last year, told LBC's Nick Ferrari on Monday that the Conservatives had left the country "in a much worse state".Mr Walker said that Labour were more centrist and business-friendly, adding that leader Sir Keir "gets it".He told Nick: "It's clear the Conservative party have failed the nation, they are out of touch with the needs of everyday people, drifting further to the right, the country is in a much worse state than it was 14 years ago
