Nigel Farage has hit back at the Conservatives, accusing Kemi Badenoch’s party of being “not on the right.”
It comes after the Opposition leader told the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference yesterday took a swipe at the Reform UK leader, saying “strong men have lots of words but no plan. They promise everything and deliver nothing.”
Opening his discussion with Canadian author Jordan Peterson earlier today at the ExCel Centre, the Clacton MP told the conference: “The right is not split in this country because the Tories are not on the right in any measurable way.
“We had 14 years that bought us the highest tax burden since 1947, 14 years that saw legal mass immigration on a scale hitherto never even dreamt of.”

“We had 14 years that saw net zero enshrined into law by a Conservative government and Boris Johnson, Theresa May, who are as evangelical about net zero as the current Ed Miliband.”
