Nigel Farage could 'definitely' become prime minister due to Britain's 'completely broken' political system, ex-Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings has claimed.

The controversial former chief adviser to Boris Johnson confirmed he has held meetings with Mr Farage and advised the Reform UK leader on how to win power.

In an interview with Sky News, Mr Cummings spoke about how the insurgent party could go from being 'Nigel and an iPhone' to forming a government.

But, rather than attribute Reform's surge in the polls to Mr Farage's personal appeal, he suggested it was due to voters expressing their discontent with Westminster.

Mr Cummings, who worked in No10 between July 2019 and November 2020, also claimed Tory leader Kemi Badenoch would be gone within the next 12 months.
