Nigel Farage has launched a scathing attack on the Conservative leadership hopefuls as they attempt to "win back voters" they lost to Reform UK in this summer's General Election.
Speaking to GB News, the party leader sat down with reporter Steven Edginton to discuss the state of the Tories following their historic loss to Keir Starmer's Labour Party.
Currently, four candidates are hoping to replace former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - Kemi Badenoch, Tom Tugendhat, Robert Jenrick and James Cleverly.
Swiping at the Conservative hopefuls, Farage claimed they were "nobodies" and "couldn't remember their names".

Farage told GB News: "I can't even remember their names. Who are they? They're complete nobodies.
"They have no idea how loathed they are by people that have come to Reform, for their total betrayal of everything that was promised in the 2019 manifesto."
When asked by Steven who he is "most threatened by" out of the candidates, Farage claimed he "couldn't care less" about the foursome.
He defiantly claimed: "I couldn't care less, couldn't care less. They're all nobodies, complete nobodies. Everyone's forgetting something here, it doesn't matter a damn who the next Tory leader is."

Turning the discussion to the future of the Reform Party, Farage was pressed on how he would implement their key policies if they were to win the next election.
Farage explained: "I think when Dominic Cummings uses his term, 'the blob', to describe what's happening in Whitehall and within the education system, I think he's really onto something there.
"I have no doubt there would be the most tremendous battles, tremendous battles, just as there were tremendous battles in the 1980s."
He added: "Turning our country around is not going to be easy, but we have to try."

Recalling the short tenure of Liz Truss as Tory leader, Farage claimed that if she had "had the support of the party", she would have stayed.
Farage said: "You have to have resolute leaders, but you also have to have a parliamentary party that supports you. That's why Liz Truss fell.
"They may have been doing all the wrong things too quick, or maybe the right things too quickly, but if she'd had the rock solid support of her party, she'd have stayed. But she didn't.
"You're going to have to have your 300 plus MPs who are there for the right reasons, and who genuinely believe in the promises they've made to the electorate."
