Do The Right Thing?

At Kemi Badenoch's Manchester conference a Conservative minister, Andrew Rosindell, publicly suggested working with Nigel Farage's Reform UK to avoid splitting the right — a comment that has sparked calls for his sacking and intensified scrutiny of the party's direction.

The remarks come as Reform enjoys strong poll leads, a high-profile donor quietly defected, and former Tories publicly back Reform, leaving Badenoch scrambling to steady the party amid questions over unity and electoral survival.
