Read our privacy policy Kemi Badenoch has dismissed Reform UK as a “protest party” as Nigel Farage prepares to hold a rally in her constituency. The Conservative leader told broadcasters she was “not at all” worried about Reform’s presence in her North West Essex constituency, adding that talking about Labour’s farming policy was “much more important than having a rally about myself”. The rally, which is expected to see speeches from all five of Reform’s MPs, follows a spat between Mrs Badenoch and Mr Farage over party membership figures during the Christmas period. Mrs Badenoch had disputed Reform’s claim that its membership had overtaken that of the Conservatives, accusing Mr Farage of “fakery”.
