"Nigel Farage isn't even hiding it anymore he's happy for failed Tories to prop up his party, whether they choose to join Reform or not. The Conservatives broke public services and hammered family finances. They and Reform would inflict Tory austerity on Britain all over again, meaning savage cuts to local schools and hospitals. This shady backroom plot will send a shiver down the spine of people up and down the country, and shows you simply can't trust Nigel Farage."
"One donor said Farage told them he expected to do a deal with the Tories, whether it be a merger or an agreement on co-operation between the two parties, to ease Reform's route to election victory. The person added that the Reform leader said such a deal could only be done on his terms, in part because Farage felt betrayed after the pact he made with the Tories at the 2019 election."
Labour claims Nigel Farage is willing to be propped up by the Conservative party and accuses him of inviting failed Tories to prop up Reform UK. Labour warns that Conservatives broke public services and hammered family finances and that a Tory–Reform alignment would inflict austerity with cuts to local schools and hospitals. Nigel Farage denied a specific report, but his denial appeared nuanced. Donors say Farage expects a deal with the Conservatives — a merger or cooperation — to ease Reform's route to victory and that any agreement would be on his terms because he felt betrayed by the 2019 pact. An associate said a pact seemed inevitable though it might take time, with Reform holding more leverage.
