Badenoch is absolutely right on a potential Tory and Reform alliance

One of the laziest and stupidest takes in British politics is that if there is a merger/alliance/pact between the Tories and Reform then everybody who votes or plans to vote Tory and Reform will vote for the new alliance and it is good news for the Tories that Kemi Badenoch is aware of this. For example I know many Tories who utterly despise Farage for his pro Putin appeasement words on Ukraine and would never vote to put him in…

Farage remains the favourite to be the next PM
