FARAGE: WE'RE NOW 'REAL' OPPOSITION

EXCLUSIVE: BOMBSHELL CLAIM FROM REFORM BOSS

● Brexit champ in Tory 'hostile takeover' plot

● Six-year masterplan to 'realign' UK politics

● Only I can hold Labour to account, he claims

NIGEL FARAGE promised a six-year masterplan to reshape politics yesterday, declaring: “We’re the real opposition now.”

The Brexit warrior and Reform leader revealed he is on a mission to build a “mass movement” for lasting change. And he warned he is ready to stage a hostile takeover of the Tories if he wins a seat in the Commons on July 4.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express, Mr Farage said: “This election is our beginning. It’s the start of a serious attempt to create a coherent party that genuinely believes in this country. It’s about establishing a group of people in Westminster who are united on key policies.” He spoke as the latest opinion poll took his party to within two points of the Conservatives. Last night Rishi Sunak’s ministers cranked up efforts to stop the Farage juggernaut by warning that a vote for Reform would simply hand victory to Labour.

But sipping gin and tonic in a Westminster watering hole, Mr Farage hit back: “This election is over. Labour are going to win by a mile. The only question for voters now is who the opposition is going to be.

“Who do you want leading the opposition once Keir Starmer is in Number 10 – Rishi Sunak, Ed Davey or me?

“The Tories will be in opposition but can’t be the Opposition because they spend their whole life arguing with each other.”

He warned that unless Reform wins “many millions of votes” and a “beachhead in Parliament” there is a danger Labour will “govern completely unchecked”.
