Kemi Badenoch this week killed off any prospect of an electoral pact with Reform UK - emphasising differences between the Conservatives and Nigel Farage's party.Writing in the Mail on Sunday, she stated: 'We are not the same, and voters are not ours to trade like football cards.'Mrs Badenoch went on to cite Reform's alleged support for 'a bigger state, more spending, nationalisation, gimmicks and unfunded giveaways'.It follows Andy Burnham's emphatic victory over Reform in the Makerfield by-election on Thursday, which put him on a course to oust Sir Keir Starmer and form what could become the most Left-wing Government in a generation.Now you can have your say in the Daily Mail's latest poll – is Kemi Badenoch right to rule out a deal with Reform or do the Tories stand no chance of ever winning again on their own?
In Friday's poll, Mail readers were asked: 'Would Andy Burnham as prime minister make Britain a better place to live?' Out of more than 6,000 votes, 90 per cent of you said 'no' and 10 per cent 'yes'.
