UK political cooperation tensions involving Reform UK

Overview

Political cooperation involving Reform UK has faced significant obstacles from various parties. Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, rejected a potential deal with Restore Britain due to antisemitism allegations involving a co-founder of the latter group. Reform UK stated that any talks would be contingent on action against individuals described as ‘antisemitic and extreme racists’.

Separately, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has ruled out forming a coalition or electoral deal with Reform UK following the next general election. Badenoch rejected the idea of a “monstrous Reform/Conservative hybrid” government, expressing a preference for a fresh election instead. She also criticized Nigel Farage and party defectors, describing them as “some of the most dishonest people I have ever met in my entire life”.
