Nigel Farage's Hint and Richard Tice's Response

Nigel Farage and Reform leader Richard Tice recently downplayed any talk of a potential deal with the Tories. Farage had hinted at a possible collaboration between the two parties during an interview on Trending In The News's online show, Never Mind The Ballots.

Denial of Deal and Sense of Humour

While appearing on the show, Farage suggested that the parties could assist each other, but Tice later dismissed these comments as merely "a bit of fun." He stated, "We are doing no deals with the Tories," emphasizing his party's stance.

Rowing Back and Sense of Banter

Farage also clarified his position, stating that his initial response was sarcastic and that there is no deal with the Conservatives. Tice echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of humor and banter in the political landscape, especially during election season.

Relationship Behind the Scenes

Despite the public statements, Farage mentioned that he and Tice are getting along reasonably well behind the scenes. This suggests a cordial relationship between the two leaders, despite any differences in their political stances.
