POLICY WIRE — London, UK — In a definitive statement, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has ruled out any form of alliance with Reform UK, describing the party as “inconsistent” and plagued by internal discord.

Badenoch dismissed the idea of a coalition, emphasizing that voters would not support a “monstrous Reform-Conservative hybrid”. She characterized Reform UK as a party “fighting all the time” and lacking cohesion.

“Reform UK is a party that is all over the place,” Badenoch stated. “They are people fighting all the time, and that is not what the electorate is looking for.”

Her comments come amid speculation about potential political alliances ahead of the upcoming elections. Badenoch’s stance underscores the Conservative Party’s intention to maintain a clear distinction from Reform UK.
