Nigel Farage refuses to strike a deal with Tories
Nigel Farage has firmly stated that he would not entertain any deal with the Conservatives, criticizing what he perceives as years of betrayal by the party on the topics of Brexit and immigration. The Reform leader made it clear that there would be no repeat of the pact he made with Boris Johnson in 2019, where he stood down Brexit Party candidates to support the Tories.
Labour already won, claims Farage
Farage expressed his belief that Labour has already secured victory in the upcoming election and urged voters to choose a party they truly believe in. He asserted that the Conservative Party has lost the election and labeled them as a "party of the past."
No trust left for Conservatives
Despite stating that he had assisted the Tories significantly in 2019, Farage emphasized that he feels betrayed by the party and millions of voters do too. He highlighted broken promises on controlling borders and immigration numbers, stating that he cannot make a deal with those who have betrayed his trust.
Building a new political movement
Farage expressed his intention to be the voice of opposition in the next Westminster parliament and outlined his goal of creating a political movement that can challenge in the 2029 General Election. He criticized the Conservatives for internal conflicts and proposed a new movement closer to ordinary citizens.
Cleverly surprises by Farage's election stand
Home Secretary James Cleverly expressed surprise at Nigel Farage's decision to stand in the election, suggesting that Farage's party Reform is merely a platform for self-promotion. Cleverly hinted at tensions within Reform, pointing out that Richard Tice may be realizing the nature of Farage's motives.
