Badenoch Rejects Reform Coalition | Belfast News

Kemi Badenoch is drawing a firm line against Nigel Farage’s Reform party, calling defectors from the Conservatives “the most dishonest people” she’s ever encountered and barring them from returning to her party. She flatly rejects any post-election coalition with Reform, vowing to fight for a pure Conservative government—even if it means facing another election—rather than forming a “monstrous hybrid” administration. Slamming Farage as unpredictable and unreliable, she insists her focus is on winning cleanly on her own terms. On the issue of a potential Labour-Lib-Dem coalition, she advocates fresh elections over messy compromises. She also criticized ex-Tory MPs who jumped ship to Reform as “drama queens” who abandoned their party in times of crisis. Looking ahead, Badenoch is rallying support in Scotland, where she believes the Tories are uniquely positioned to address local concerns and restore trust, praising Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay as a strong candidate for First Minister. Her message: principled leadership, no shortcuts, and a clear path forward for the Conservatives.
