Davey: Conservatives openly planning to put Nigel Farage into Number 10

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Kemi Badenoch’s admission in the Spectator that she would put Nigel Farage in Number 10 if he fell short of a majority, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Kemi Badenoch just said the quiet bit out loud, the Conservatives are now openly planning to put Nigel Farage into Number 10.

“This will put a shiver down the spine of millions of Conservative voters across the country who believe in British values of decency, tolerance and the rule of law.

"Kemi Badenoch needs to come clean on whether she really believes Nigel Farage is fit to be Prime Minister of our great country. And any Conservative MPs who disagree should say so now and make clear they will not vote to put him into Number 10."
