Robert Jenrick shed light on whether Nigel Farage could join the Tories despite their contentious relationship
Former Tory immigration minister Robert Jenrick has said that there is "no role" for Nigel Farage in the Tory party despite speculation that the Reform UK leader may deflect.
Speaking to GB News Jenrick said: "I respect Nigel. He and I share several things in common. We both believe in strong borders.
"But no, I don't think that Nigel can or should be part of the Conservative Party.
"He said that he doesn't want to join the party, said he wants to replace the Conservative Party.
"As long as that is his view, there can't be a role for him in the party.
"I will work with anyone who shares my determination to secure our borders and to hold an open borders Labour Party to account for everything they do."
