Yeah right…
Says man with net favourability rating of minus 45, a shitload of investigations into possible corruption, a team of utter inadequates and with every constituency bar 4 favouring rejoining because we all know how crap Brexit is now.
Bore off.

Reform UK leader tells supporters PM’s move has ‘opened up a huge flank to us’
![Braverman U-turns on desire to unite right
By Frankie Lister-Fell
Suella Braverman has U-turned on her desire to unite the right with a coalition between Reform UK and the Conservatives.
The former home secretary de-
fected to Reform in January this year, joining the more right-wing party as education spokesperson.
Despite criticising the Tories, she had proposed for the two parties to join forces to defeat the left.
And Reform leader Nigel Farage, having historically wanted to wipe r out the Conservatives, kept the suggestion open as a possibility. When
••
questioned on whether the parties would form a pact or coalition in
April, he said "let's see".
But on Saturday, Braverman denied
any chance of the two parties working together.
She told The Times: "The Conservative Party utterly betrayed the British people. They promised to do whatever it would take to stop the boats. The boats were not stopped.
"There's so many issues that the Conservative Party now agrees with me on, whether it's banning the hate marches, leaving the European Convention on Human Rights [to stop the small boats], cutting visas, but
it basically takes the Conservative Party too long to get it. And I'm more impatient than that."
The Tories, on the other hand, had already rejected the idea. Last Sat-urday, party leader Kemi Badenoch said during an interview with broadcaster lain Dale at the Edinburgh Fringe festival that a coalition would be "monstrous"
She said it would "put as many people off as it gains"
, adding that
Reform is "fighting all the time"
Badenoch said: "Nigel Farage die-tates what he wants depending on what he had for breakfast that day, and they're all over the place. How do I work with people like that?"
Braverman had also ruled out making a deal with right-wing contenders Restore Britain before the next election. Earlier this month, Farage said he was "open-minded" about working with Restore, which was founded by Rupert Lowe who was kicked out of Reform last year.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreihekkts33wc5rwrxsse4ql244rv2feyif73qqtkmj3p6jo3y7hgya)
