Kemi Badenoch: I will never get into bed with Farage

Kemi Badenoch has ruled out signing a pact with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, saying the party’s manifesto promises “didn’t add up”.Speaking exclusively to the Daily T to mark 100 days as Leader of the Opposition, Badenoch said, “I am the custodian of an institution that has existed for nigh on 200 years...I can’t just treat it like it’s a toy and have pacts and mergers.”Badenoch also called for a UK version of DOGE, Elon Musk’s government efficiency drive in the United States, and said the Conservatives risk losing all their remaining council seats in the this year’s local elections.We want to hear from you!
