About this episode
It’s been a day of contrasting fortunes for Nigel Farage and Reform.
First, the good: The Telegraph has revealed analysis that demonstrated how, if the recent local election results were repeated at the next national vote, Reform could wipe out Labour.
Then, the bad: Farage barely had time to pop the champagne after that polling news when ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe released a blistering attack, calling the Reform leader "a coward and a viper" who "must never be Prime Minister".
With Lowe hinting at a potential new political party, will this latest row hurt Reform's chances just as the party builds momentum?
Camilla and Kamal are joined by Sir Edward Leigh, veteran Tory MP and father of the house, who says that Farage "does have a history of falling out with everybody who comes too close to him or threatens him" but is doubtful that it will dent his popularity.
