Nigel Farage has confirmed he is preparing to deliver a “full response” to Kemi Badenoch’s “crazy conspiracy theories” about Reform UK’s membership ticker after the pair locked horns in a Boxing Day bust-up.

The Reform UK leader laid down the gauntlet after Badenoch claimed Reform UK “faked” its membership ticker.


He demanded an apology from the Tory leader ahead of tonight’s appearance at Reform UK’s East Midlands conference in Leicester.

Hinting at his potential next steps, Farage said: “An apology has not been forthcoming from Kemi Badenoch regarding her crazy conspiracy theories about Reform UK.

“I will be giving my full response at a sold out conference tonight in Leicester.”

During their Boxing Day bust-up, Badenoch claimed Reform UK’s membership milestone was “fake”.

The Leader of the Opposition appeared infuriated after Reform UK mocked the Tories by projecting the milestone moment onto CCHQ in Westminster.

Farage hinted at launching legal action against Badenoch on December 27, telling journalists: “I’m going to take some action in the next couple of days, and I’ve got to decide exactly what it is.”
