Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has threatened to sue his Tory counterpart Kemi Badenoch if she fails to apologise for accusing the populist party of faking numbers that show Reform surpassed the Conservatives in paid members.
After Reform passed the threshold of 131,680 members , recently-installed Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accused the party of using an automated online ticker rather than reflecting actual sign-ups. Badenoch also claimed that the Tories had “gained thousands of new members” after she was selected as leader in November. However, the party has yet to release such figures to the public.
Mr Farage has branded Badenoch “disgraceful” for the accusations and demanded that she apologise for the “intemperate outburst.”
