Tories on Reform: “You couldn’t put a cigarette paper” between Badenoch and Farage

10 Apr 2025

Embargo: Immediate Release

Commenting on Badenoch’s ruling-out of a national pact with Reform, Daisy Cooper MP, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader, said:

“Badenoch may have ruled out at a pact with Farage but the reality is the Conservatives and Reform have merged in all but name under her leadership.

"You couldn't put a cigarette paper between Badenoch and Farage when it comes to their policies. It’s clear the Conservatives have totally abandoned the centre ground.

"It's little wonder that former Conservative voters appalled by the party’s continuing lurch to the extremes are switching to the Liberal Democrats in their droves."
