Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has declined to dismiss the possibility of a pact with Reform UK following a surprising surge in support for Nigel Farage's party, overtaking Labour in a recent poll. Despite Reform's denial of any intention to form a coalition, Jenrick stopped short of ruling it out entirely.
Kemi Badenoch's Stance
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has firmly opposed the idea of merging with Reform UK, citing Farage's desire to dismantle the Conservative Party. Badenoch questioned the logic behind such a move, emphasizing the need to win back disenchanted right-wing voters.
Fueling Speculation
Jenrick's comments have sparked speculation about potential cooperation between the two parties, especially after a recent YouGov poll placed Reform ahead of Labour. With Reform at 25%, one point above Labour and four points ahead of the Tories, the political landscape seems to be shifting.
Leadership and Future Prospects
While avoiding direct comparisons with Badenoch's leadership, Jenrick expressed his commitment to attracting conservative voters back to the Conservative Party. Despite acknowledging past mistakes, he remains optimistic about the party's ability to regain lost ground.
