Nigel Farage: ‘Close to zero’ chance of me joining the Tories

Nigel Farage said the chances of him joining the current version of the Conservative Party are “pretty close to zero” as he responded to attacks from Sir Keir Starmer. 

The Labour leader repeatedly referred to Mr Farage during PMQs yesterday and asked Rishi Sunak if the honorary president of Reform UK would be welcome as a Tory member but the Prime Minister sidestepped the question. 

Mr Farage told GB News that he believed the Tories had “let us down in every single way” and claimed that they have been “just as bad as New Labour” on key issues like tax, immigration and crime. 

Asked on a scale of one to 10 what the chances are of him joining the Tories, Mr Farage said: “This Conservative Party that I helped so much to win in 2019 a huge majority have let us down in every single way. 

“They can talk about low tax and talk about stopping the boats and talk about dealing with issues on our streets. 

“They have been just as bad as New Labour on all of these issues. The chances of me right now joining that party? Pretty close to zero.”
