Nigel Farage has weighed in on speculation that former Conservative minister Robert Jenrick could jump ship to Reform UK, making it clear he’d be open to the idea—under one key condition. The Reform UK leader addressed the rumours, saying he’d welcome Jenrick but only if he “didn’t bring Tory Party infighting with him”.
His comments come as tensions within the Conservative Party continue to simmer following their election defeat last year. Farage’s remarks followed a joke from Labour commentator Paul Richards about Reform’s internal disputes after MP Rupert Lowe took a swipe at his leadership. Shrugging off the dig, Farage said: “I would welcome anybody that didn’t bring Tory infighting with them—all parties have it, so don’t encourage more!”
