Nigel Farage suggests Reform UK could merge with the defeated Tories after the general election as ex-UKIP leader drops his strongest hint yet he will return to frontline politics

Daily Mail  

Nigel Farage has suggested Reform UK could merge with the defeated Tories after the general election - as he dropped the strongest hint yet he will return to frontline politics. Many Tory MPs fear, should Mr Farage return as Reform leader, he could turbocharge the party's general election campaign and help deliver a Conservative wipeout. In a new interview, Mr Farage - currently Reform's honorary president - even raised the prospect of a 'reverse take over' of the defeated Tories by Reform following the general election. Nigel Farage has dropped his strongest hint yet he could return to frontline politics before the general election as he eyes an 'historic opportunity' to reshape Britain Mr Farage has previously urged unity on the right of British politics and admitted he and Tory MPs such as Sir Jacob Rees Mogg will some day 'have to be in the same party' In an interview with the Unherd website, Mr Farage again addressed fevered speculation about his political future as the general election draws nearer.
