The Reform leader, who took over from Nigel Farage in 2021, attacked Rishi Sunak’s admission that no asylum seekers would be sent to Rwanda before the 4 July contest. And he responded to a meme produced by the Conservative Party about Reform, saying it “proves how terrified they are”. “The more memes, the better,” Mr Tice said.
His comments came after the launch of Reform’s general election campaign, in which Mr Tice accused the Conservatives of having “broken Britain”. Claiming he would win seats, but not saying how many, Mr Tice said he would fight the Tories in every seat in the UK excluding Northern Ireland – where Reform failed to register as a political party in time.
And, in a blow to the Mr Sunak’s electoral hopes, Mr Tice said former leader Mr Farage would be everywhere during the campaign. Despite confirming he would not stand as a candidate in the general election, Mr Farage has given up presenting on GB News in order to be able to campaign for Reform.
