There may only be three weeks of election season left but there’s still a new development every day. Now Nigel Farage has made waves on the airwaves this morning in conversation with LBC’s Nick Ferrari. Quizzed about what the future if the opposition could look like, the Reform party leader hinted he was open to a new kind of cross-party working…
‘I’ve intervened,’ he told Ferrari, ‘because we need a coherent voice of opposition in parliament and in the country. Do you know what, Nick? I believe I can do that better than the current Conservative party.’
His interviewer pressed him again:
Ferrari: Can you tell me that one day you might lead the Conservative party or can you rule it out if the ball were to come out of the back of the scrum?
Farage: I think something new is going to emerge on the centre-right. I don’t know what it’s called… But do I think I’m capable of leading a national opposition to a Labour Party with a big majority, where I can stand up and hold them to account on issues? Yes.
