The Reform UK MP Danny Kruger has said "wokery" and a rise in "strict Orthodox Islam" are threats to Christianity.

The 51-year-old, who is MP for East Wiltshire, became a Christian in his twenties after reading 'Mere Christianity' by CS Lewis and after prayers from his future wife, Emma. 

Speaking to Church Times, he said "wokery" and paganism feel “to me like a direct reflection of the Fall, and subsequent falls that happened — the Tower of Babel, all the rest of it. It feels like a very clear echo of all of the mistakes and heresies that we read about in the Bible, " he said.

He said it was "very hostile" to his own beliefs and "what the Christian Western tradition believes in, which is civil society, organic association, obligations to others, belonging.”

He also said he was "bothered" about radicalisation and expressed concern over "the growth of the numbers of an essentially foreign culture which now occupy large numbers of our towns or cities" adding that he believes it would be "difficult to be a very strict orthodox Muslim and to conform to the expectations of British citizenship.”

The former Conservative MP defected to Reform UK in September 2025 and has been outspoken on issues such as assisted dying. He opposes any move to change the law - a view in which he differs from his mother, Prue Leith, the chef and broadcaster Dame Prue Leith.  

In a speech to the House of Commons in July 2025, Kruger said the UK's democracy was founded on Christian faith and described England as the "prototype of nations across the West.”
