Nigel Farage has responded to the Prime Minister’s claims that a vote for anyone other than the Conservatives will lead to a Labour government saying that it will make no difference.

Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said:

“I've heard this at every election since 1997 and I'm getting very, very bored with it.

“Of course, it's what you get with first past the post politics. ‘I know I'm rubbish. I know, you don't want to vote for me. But if you vote for the other guy, somebody else will get in.’

“I mean, the whole thing is so negative and so ghastly. In 2015, Cameron used the same line. The truth was the 4 million votes that I got as leader of UKIP, leading that people's army, actually, we took more Labour voters and Tory voters.

“Cameron would not have had a majority had it not been for the UKIP vote.

“This time around, it's different. This time round, the vast majority of Reform voters are 2019 Conservative voters.

“But you know what, Rishi’s going to lose anyway. It makes no blooming difference.

“Unless something dramatic happens, and who knows what could happen in Rochdale etc, but basically when the punters see that Sunak’s going to lose anyway, that argument about splitting the vote disappears completely.”
