Farage unveils more defectors, but can he move on from Reform's civil war?

As Nigel Farage announced 29 councillors had defected to Reform, the message was clear: his party wants to move on from its row with suspended MP Rupert Lowe.Farage welcomed his latest recruits in a central London press conference, and with fifteen of those councillors having crossed over from the Conservatives, Kemi Badenoch no doubt has an even bigger headache than before as Reform continue to lead her party in the polls ahead of May's local elections. But the elephant in the room was last week's Reform civil war, after MP Rupert Lowe was suspended from the party over allegations of verbal threats and workplace bullying - allegations he denies. Farage himself addressed the issue in his speech, saying that it had caused "consternation" but that the "upset is very much at the edges"Camilla caught up with Nigel Farage after the press conference to ask him whether he was capable of being the next Prime Minister if he can't keep a party of five MP's in check.And then once she was reunited with Kamal, they also reflected on the reporting this weekend that Farage had dinner with former Boris Johnson advisor and Brexit architect Dominic Cummings, in order to discuss how the Conservatives and Reform could work together to "unite the right".Producers: Georgia Coan and Lilian Fawcett Senior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss StudioHosted on Acast.
