Farage to blast Badenoch’s ‘crazy conspiracy theories’ about Reform

You might have forgotten about Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch’s Twixmas Twitter spat, but the Reform UK leader certainly hasn’t. Mr S would remind readers that, during the Christmas period, a fight on the right broke out between the two party readers after Reform announced it had officially overtaken the Conservatives’ membership total – which led to a rather unedifying back and forth. Talk about a lack of festive spirit, eh?

On Christmas, the Farage-led party projected a ‘countdown clock’ onto CCHQ to mark the moment when Reform got its 131,670th member – thus overtaking the Tories. While the up and coming party took to social media to celebrate the achievement, their political rivals were not quite as chipper. Badenoch was quick to accuse Farage of ‘manipulating your own supporters’, before claiming the figures were ‘not real’. To evidence her remark, she added:

It’s a fake clock coded to tick up automatically.
