Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has floated the idea of a Reform-Tory tie-up ahead of 2029.

In a leaked audio recording, Jenrick can be heard telling students that infighting on the right will produce the "nightmare scenario" where "Starmer sails in through the middle as a result of the two parties being disunited. I don't know about you, but I'm not prepared for that to happen".

However, Nigel Farage has told GB News his supporters would be “revolted” if he agreed that the Tories and Reform should not compete at the next general election.

When asked to issue a definitive response on whether he would consider a deal with Jenrick or the Tories, Farage said: “I would only do a deal with people who I could trust. I don’t trust them.”
