Nigel Farage teases leader of the opposition credentials as he makes Tory party declaration
Nigel Farage said he wants to lead a “national opposition” to Labour if Sir Keir Starmer’s party wins the general election.
The Reform UK leader, who hopes to engineer a reverse takeover of the Conservative Party to form a new centre-right grouping, said he believed the situation was already “close to a tipping point”.
Mr Farage also insisted he would not “surrender to the mob” after having a milkshake poured over him and objects thrown at him at campaign events.
“Do I think I’m capable of leading a national opposition to a Labour Party with a big majority, where I can stand up and hold them to account on issues? Yes,” he told LBC.
