Tory Party Chairman Kevin Hollinrake said he would form a coalition with Reform over the LibDems. You’d hope so…
Hollinrake was on the Daily T podcast with Reform’s Tim Montgomerie and insisted that was his preference “if there was no other choice at all.” Badenoch is allegedly “not interested in a coalition”…
The party chairman said the main issue today was migration: “Certainly Tim and I are far more closely aligned in terms of migration. That’s the reality.” Montgomerie for his part went further:
“There are parts of northern England, the Red Wall seats, parts of Wales, colliery communities and parts of Scotland that are never going to vote Conservative. Reform can reach parts of the electorate that the Conservatives just can’t. There are probably southern seats Reform cannot win that only the Conservatives can win. Let the British people decide. I think Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage could form a strong coalition together where they agree on the key issues. Immigration is the biggest challenge facing this country. What we don’t know is how bad the economy is going to be.”
Something weighing heavily on right-of-centre minds in SW1…
Reform MP Danny Kruger welcomed adult film star Bonnie Blue’s support for the party, adding:
“I’m not going to be judgemental about people who want to vote Reform. We want all the support we can get – quite like Bonnie Blue.”
