Labour turns to Reform
LABOUR are turning their firepower on Nigel Farage rather than the Tories under new battle plans. It comes as every major poll shows that Reform is ahead of the Conservative Party for the first time. Labour Together – a leading think-tank with very close ties to No10 – is being turned into a machine to take on Reform. It will work with Downing Street to launch coordinated attacks on Mr Farage and help Labour MPs campaign to keep their seats.
Secret anti-Reform database
They are building a secret anti Reform database tracking everything Reform does to help them work out the best strategy to take on Nigel. Wes Streeting was the first over the top last week when he unleashed a fiery attack on Mr Farage and Reform – warning they would imperil the NHS.
Farage's response
Mr Farage dismissed Mr Streeting’s attack as nonsense. And he shrugged off Labour’s new Stop Reform mission, saying: "If the Labour Party want to give me free publicity, I look forward to it with relish." Parking his tanks on Labour lawns, Mr Farage went to the heart of the party’s Red Wall on Saturday night to address crowds in Houghton-le-Spring, near Sunderland. Large queues snaked outside the venue as locals in County Durham waited to watch Mr Farage speak.
