UK politics live – latest updates
Nigel Farage has said a pact between Reform and Boris Johnson would never work, after the Conservative defector Nadine Dorries called for the right to unite.
Farage said the public would “never ever forgive” Johnson for designing an immigration system that led to an increase of millions of people coming to the UK legally after Brexit, calling it the “Boris wave”.
Dorries, a close ally of Johnson and a former culture secretary, defected from the Conservatives to Reform before its conference on Friday and told the audience the Tory party “is dead”.
