A tactical voting plot to “Stop Reform” could see the “far-left” pull off a shock victory unless Nigel Farage does a deal with Kemi Badenoch, a veteran Tory MP has told GB News.
Andrew Rosindell, who was first elected as the MP for Romford in 2001, suggested failing to ‘Unite the Right’ could also see the UK backtrack on Brexit.
Speaking to GB News, Mr Rosindell pointed out the policy areas that unite Mr Farage and Mrs Badenoch.
He said: “The Conservative Party and Reform are both on the right of British politics and share many common objectives with the shared aims of protecting Britain’s sovereignty, securing our borders, and upholding the traditional British values that make our country strong and great.
“If we allow division on the right, we risk handing power to a coalition of the left that will weaken our nation and totally reverse the progress we’ve made since Brexit.
“Tactical voting by progressive forces of the left involving Labour, Greens, Liberal Democrats, Scottish and Welsh nationalists and even Jeremy Corbyn’s far-left and Islamic independents is a real threat.
“The polls make it clear that cooperation on the right between Conservatives, Unionists and Reform is essential if we are to stop a far-left Government from seizing control of the UK after the next General Election.”
Mr Rosindell’s comments come just days after it was revealed Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs have been discussing launching a tactical voting operation ahead of the next general election.

Polling by More in Common released last weekend suggested a “rainbow coalition” of left-wing progressive parties could secure enough votes to win a majority of seats.
A tactical voting rate of 60 per cent would halt Mr Farage’s path to power, with progressives salvaging enough seats to win a wafer-thin majority between Labour, the Liberal Democrats, Greens, Scottish National Party and other left-wing MPs.
However, Green Party leader Zack Polanski has suggested he would only enter an alliance with Labour if MPs removed Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.
Anti-Reform activists felt buoyed by Plaid Cymru’s success in the Caerphilly by-election last October, with Lindsay Whittle winning over thousands of ex-Labour supporters to see off Reform UK by 3,848 votes.
