Nigel Farage Considers Shock Return to Politics: Could Lead Reform UK Party

Plotting a Comeback

Nigel Farage, the prominent Brexiteer, has reportedly confided in close associates about his intention to make a return to frontline politics. Farage believes he has "one last shot" and is allegedly planning to make a comeback in January, following his increased support while participating in the reality TV show, I'm A Celebrity.

Heading Up Reform UK Party

There are speculations that Farage may take the helm of the Reform UK party, which is currently led by his friend Richard Tice. Insiders have suggested that Tice might step aside to make room for Farage's return. However, there have been attempts by some Tories to entice Farage to their side.

Political Space to Come Back

A close ally of Farage revealed, "He's told me he thinks he has one more shot at frontline politics. The fury over immigration and the recent sacking of Suella Braverman have created political space for him to make a comeback."

Tories Bracing for Farage's Return

Senior Tories are reportedly preparing for Nigel Farage's potential return to the political arena. One Tory member stated, "Some of us are braced for Nigel to make a comeback. He's in the jungle, raising his profile and growing in popularity. Lots of my constituents already really like him and fundamentally agree with what he says on immigration."

Conservatives Must Not Shut People Like Him Out

According to the same Tory member, the Conservatives need to acknowledge Farage's popularity and views on immigration, as he resonates strongly with the British public. The member emphasized the importance of the Conservatives claiming ownership of that political space and not alienating figures like Farage. The recent success of the Reform UK party in byelections has raised concerns among some Tories, who fear that Farage's return could cost them even more seats in the next election.
