Excerpt:
Nigel Farage has called upon all local Conservative Party councillors to defect and join his populist Reform UK party ahead of the English county council elections next May, arguing that the Tory brand is “broken” after numerous betrayals.
The Brexit boss sent a letter to all 1,352 Conservative councillors in England offering them an opportunity to join the ranks of the rising power that is Reform UK as it wages its first truly national election campaign. At present, Reform has 28 local councillors.
In a video address, Mr Farage said that a “huge number” of local Tories align more with his Reform party, arguing that “the Conservative Party in the country is very different to the Conservative Party in Westminster.”
As opposed to the 2019 general election when Farage’s Brexit Party made an election pact with Boris Johnson’s Tories to stand down in constituencies to ensure a majority to ‘get Brexit done’, the Reform leader said that his party would be put forward a candidate for every local council contest in May.
