Mr Farage - who has taken over as Reform UK leader and is standing to be an MP in Clacton - says: 'I don't want to join the Conservative Party, I think the better thing to do would be to take it over.'
Nigel Farage has ruled out doing a deal with the Conservatives after announcing he is standing to become an MP - as he set out his goal for Reform UK to effectively take over the Tory Party. After taking over as leader of Reform UK on Monday, Mr Farage accused the Tories of betraying his party.
Reform UK is set to increase its share of the vote compared with the last election but it is still only predicted to take 10.1%, according to the latest YouGov poll for Sky News. Mr Farage said he intended to win 'millions' more votes than UKIP had as he tries to make Reform the official opposition. Reform may not win more than a few seats but they could contribute to the Conservatives losing even more seats to Labour.
