Breitbart UK need to be a little more careful. They ran a Twitter-based feature about “Conservative” voters who are “defecting to UKIP”.
Meet their first two “Conservatives”, “Blinkered Britain” and Steve Lawton. Blinkered was asked on June 20th ‘If a General Election was held now whom would you vote for?” “UKIP,” he replied.

@Nigel_Farage Sick to the back teeth of con, lib & lab. Will be voting UKIP from now on in ALL elections not just euros.

OK, so how about the rest of the “defecting Tories”?
“Stuart King” appears to be an Arron Banks pro-Leadsom bot, account goes back only to June 24th with many friendly UKIP and Banks tweets. “Tory Bastard” was actually a Tory, but also loves Trump, so out of place.
“Titmus Richamus” is obviously another Arron Banks bot, full of @LeaveEUOfficial RTs and Leadsom spam (Andrea Leadsom never wanted Banks’ backing and disavowed him and Farage repeatedly).
“No. 1 confused” is another far right account, not a Tory, tweeting out “white lives matter” – these accounts are run by the FSB from troll farms in St. Petersburg

So, who else have Breitbart got? Jim Swanny. Probably not a Tory:
9.3m on leaflets, that has pissed me right off. I was on the fence but now I'm out more lies from filthy Tory twats. I don't normally swear.

Giles D Henry is, alas, yet another far right bot, tweeting this stuff:
The real narrative the media hides about the violent history & founding of #BlackLivesMatter. https://t.co/so3TYUUa2x

And, as the coup de grace, Breitbart’s final “defecting Conservative” is actually a “Britain First” supporter.
