Tees Valley mayor Lord Houchen suggested that the Conservative Party might need to form a coalition with Reform UK to keep Labour from gaining power in the next general election. Despite Tory leader Kemi Badenoch's firm rejection of a national coalition, she acknowledged that local councillors may need flexibility to decide on coalitions at the local level. The dynamics are complex as both parties are navigating their public trust, and there are significant discussions ahead as the election approaches.
"Lord Houchen indicated that forming a coalition with Reform UK may be necessary to prevent a Labour victory in future elections."
"Kemi Badenoch reiterated that there will be no coalition at a national level, emphasizing the need to regain trust among Tory voters."
