BADENOCH SLAMS TORY–FARAGE PACT AS CONSERVATIVES RULE OUT ALLIANCE WITH REFORM UK
Conservative leader rejects calls to “unite the right” as Nigel Farage leaves the door open to a possible post-election deal
Kemi Badenoch has firmly rejected the idea of a political pact between the Conservative Party and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, insisting that the Tories must stand on their own principles rather than join forces with their right-wing rival.
The dispute intensified during the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham on 7 October 2026, when Badenoch declared that her party would not unite with Reform UK. She argued that the Conservatives needed to rebuild public trust and present voters with a clear alternative rather than enter an alliance with Farage.
Badenoch also criticised aspects of Reform UK’s political approach, including comments by figures associated with the party about national identity and who should be considered English. She said she did not want Britain to move backwards on these issues.
FARAGE LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN
The disagreement gained fresh attention after Farage declined to rule out a deal following the next general election. Although he described a pact before the election as “extremely unlikely”, he suggested that cooperation afterwards remained a possibility.
His comments highlighted a key difference between the two leaders: while Badenoch has ruled out an alliance, Farage has left open the prospect of a post-election arrangement.
A BATTLE FOR THE RIGHT
The Conservatives suffered a historic defeat at the 2024 general election, losing power and being reduced to 121 seats in the House of Commons. Reform UK has since competed with the Tories for voters who want tougher immigration policies and a different direction for Britain.
A pact could raise difficult questions about leadership, policies and political compromises. Supporters of cooperation may argue that parties with overlapping priorities should consider working together, while Badenoch’s position is that the Conservatives must retain their own identity and standards.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
For now, Badenoch’s message is clear: she intends to rebuild the Conservative Party independently rather than enter a formal alliance with Farage.
Whether the two parties could cooperate after a future election remains unresolved. Farage has not closed that door, but Badenoch’s public rejection makes clear that any potential agreement would face a major political obstacle.
The central question is whether the British right will remain divided between the Conservatives and Reform UK, or whether pressure for cooperation will return after the next election.
