Kemi Badenoch has ruled out a pact with Reform. The Tory leader told the Daily Telegraph: ‘Nigel Farage has said that he wants to destroy the Conservative Party. ‘So I’m not…I have been given something very precious. I am the custodian of an institution that has existed for nigh on 200 years…I have to look after this thing. I can’t just treat it like it’s a toy and have pacts and mergers.’
Badenoch should think again. The truth is that many Tory voters are being wooed by Nigel Farage’s Reform party. Pretending otherwise is not going to cut it.
Reform MP Rupert Lowe’s rousing recent address at a Reform rally had me and the group of life-long Conservatives I watched a recording of it with, nodding along. We agreed with every word; Lowe is a true patriot, no-nonsense (like all the Reform MPs) and someone who is willing to put their reputation, their career, and even their life on the line in the service of this country.
