Farage tells donors he expects Reform to do election deal with Tories – report

One donor tells FT that Reform leader described an agreement as ‘inevitable’, despite denials from both sides

Nigel Farage has told donors he expects a deal or merger between his Reform UK party and the Conservatives before the next general election.

Reform donors told the Financial Times that the leader expected his party to join with or make a deal with the Tories.

One of those who spoke to the FT said Farage had described such an agreement as “inevitable” but that it would take some time because he was wary over making a pact between the two.

But Farage and the Conservative party denied the claims.
