Nigel Farage: ‘Reform will win more votes than the Tories next election’ | Exclusive
Nigel Farage predicted Reform will get more votes than the Tories at the next election.
Mr Farage is taking questions from Camilla Tominey and Telegraph subscribers in a special live event presented by The Telegraph Politics Newsletter.
The former Ukip leader said: “Eighty-seat majority, the world at their feet… I helped them do it and look what they’ve done with it. I think Reform will get, with or without me, more votes than the Conservatives at the next election, in terms of numbers. How that transpires in terms of seats is absolutely anybody’s guess.
“But I can see the momentum… May 2 is going to be a disaster with the Conservatives, obviously it’s going to be measured at the high point of 2021. There’ll be a leadership contest, Rishi will win, he’ll limp on… There is no good news coming for the Conservatives.”
One of the most recognisable figures in British politics, Mr Farage led the UK Independence Party (UKIP) until 2016 and played a pivotal part in campaigning for Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Farage didn't believe in Brexit either, he ran away as soon as it looked like real work needed to be done. He's only back now because he knows he wouldn't be in charge of actually fixing this mess
Farage calling someone a liar and a charlatan it's the textbook definition of a hipocrite.
We’ve nothing to loose, Reform for me.
The only seats Reform are guaranteed to get, is if the Common Chamber is having seating replaced and Reform rummage through the skips outside ?
There's no chance of that happening and if it did, Labour would end up with 500+ seats.
Vote reform
Farage calling the Tories liars and charlatans! That;s exactly what he is.
I hope they can keep labour out as well
This clown = "The Pot Calling The Kettle Black"…. Publicity Crazed.
Nigel Farage,s Reform Party are ideal replacements for Screaming Lord Sutch,and his Raving Monster Looney Party.
Tory/Labour are the Uniparty in the UK, just like establishment GOP/Democrats are the Uniparty in the US
Wish Nigel was Reform leader!.
Thats not much of a boast
Conservatives rubbish labour even worse. Vote reform.
Nigel for PM
And farage will then tell his supporters to vote labour like he keeps doing like the controlled opposition puppet he is
Arch right wing Brit spokesman. Please unsubscribe.
Rubbish, wishful thinking.
The Conversatives shall remain the second party. Period.
Farage supports Trump and the MAGA crowd who are blocking aid to Ukraine. Last night more energy infrastucture and human life was destroyed due to lack of air defence. Trump and by association Farage and Reform are being controlled directly or indirectly by Russia whilst Ukraine burns.
Reform wants to privatise the NHS and charge us all stupid money for health insurance policies. Beware!
Vote Reform 👍
Reform is our countries last chance
Reform the UK
Farage calling other people liars pot and kettle come to mind
That's what they celebrating now eh? Low standards lol congratulations lmaoo
Reform UK is an EXCITING vote isn't it? They have good people and attractive policies and they talk common sense, do we REALLY want more Tory/Labour? After all we've seen and experienced over the years? ……………… Be part of the SOLUTION, NOT the problem ……………… VOTE REFORM UK!
