Nigel Farage has denied Reform would do a deal with the Conservatives after Robert Jenrick made “coalition” comments.<\/p>\n

The Reform leader told Sky News Deputy Political Editor Sam Coates: “We’re not going to a do a deal with a Conservative Party that gave us record tax levels since the war, mass migration, I could go on – a list as long as your arm.”<\/p>\n

In a leaked recording obtained by Sam Coates earlier this week, Mr Jenrick, who came second in the Tory leadership vote, told a student event last month he is “determined” for the fight from the right against Labour “to be united”.<\/p>\n

“One way or another, I’m determined to do that and to bring this coalition together and make sure we unite as a nation as well,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, has since denied any suggestion this means he is advocating a Tory-Reform UK pact.<\/p>\n

But speaking on Thursday, Mr Farage was clear that would not be happening anyway.<\/p>\n

“It’s not happening, our voters came to us from the Conservatives because they felt so betrayed by the Conservatives,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Why would we [join forces], given what we’re building here, why would we want to ally to a Conservative Party we don’t agree with and, frankly, we see as a failing brand.”<\/p>\n

Mr Farage added that if Mr Jenrick does agree with what Reform stands for “maybe he’s in the wrong party”.<\/p>\n

He said Reform would welcome him “if we thought he was genuine”.<\/p>\n

However, he added: “This is Robert generic, this is Robert the remainer, this is Robert the ‘I don’t stand particularly for anything at all’ who suddenly seems to be on this Damascene conversion<\/p>\n

“So I’m not sure whether he really means it.”<\/p>\n

The Reform leader said his party’s priority was “to win the next election” and the idea Reform and Conservative supporters will agree on the same things “isn’t going to happen”.<\/p>\n

“Most of our members think the Tory party failed despicably in the last government – and I agree with them,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
