Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson were today urged to join forces to come together in a Reform/Conservative alliance to save Britain.

Nadine Dorries, who last week sensationally defected from the Tories to Reform UK, appealed to both men to work together for the sake of the nation.

The former Tory Cabinet Minister warned that if the Right was split, it could pave the way to a Left-wing 'unholy alliance' of Jeremy Corbyn, the Greens and even ex-Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner taking power at the next election.

Ms Dorries, who 48 hours ago said 'the Tory Party is dead', declared: 'We need all the political talents on the right of centre putting their shoulder to what needs to be done for the country.'

But she made clear that she did not think Kemi Badenoch would play any role in that, branding her 'possibly the most useless leader of the Conservative Party'.
