- The Conservative Party is on course for a historic defeat at the general election on July 4th. Barring a major polling error, the Tories are heading for a 1997-style election wipeout and the party’s problems may still get worse.
Nigel Farage’s re-emergence in mainstream politics threatens to destroy the Conservative party - but why is that? Since Farage announced he was standing as a parliamentary candidate in Clacton, Reform UK’s poll ratings have surged.
Times Red Box editor Lara Spirit explains what could happen next.

Will Nigel Farage destroy the Tory party?
Have your say in the comments 👇
God i hope so.
Fingers crossed 🤞
The only ones that will destroy the Conservative Party is the Conservative Party itself! I am 87 and I can n ever remember any Government as bad as this!. That's why this election will not be so much a choice of who to vote for, but more of a referendum on this rotten Government
Tory party has already been destroyed
He's not trying to destroy the Tory party, they've already done that themselves. He's trying to become a credible opposition party which will hold Keir to account.
No one needs to destroy the Tory party - they have already done that all by themselves.
Most tories are in the Liebour party,
@@FrankPeterson-uk9ky They turned Liberal and failed to carry out what they promised for having a bigger majority. They failed and must go.
I don't understand what you mean by 'destroy' can you please elaborate on that since the conservatives have been doing pretty well lately with growth increasing, a bad situation from furlough and Ukrainian war it's hardly been easy for them. Interested to know what you mean that they have destroyed themselves?
@@Blackmamba12345 Where does one start? The COVID enquiry hardly paints the government in a good light does it? Matt Handcock came out of it especially badly having a power complex and what the Americans would call a zipper problem. Playing musical chairs with the PM position and in the middle of that having the shortest serving PM in history using the Tory party rules that make sure the parliamentary party can pre-filter the candidates to eliminate people the membership would like but who don't fit the agenda of the parliamentary party.
Sunak claims that we are now the 4th largest exporting nation in the World, above even Japan, but has not squared this with the high levels of taxation and Joe Average struggling to make ends meet - where are the earnings for these exports going?
Then there is the NHS - despite putting in extra funding it remains broken at the point of delivery as anyone who has had dealings with it in recent years will tell you (including my daughter who is a consultant). My personal experience - needing A&E for the first time in over 45 years found that it was closed to new admissions at 5pm on a Friday afternoon leaving me to bleed all over the floor at the walk-in centre for 5 hours before anyone (except for the poor guy mopping the floor) could take a squint at it.
Labour will also make a mess of things as they always do but this in no way excuses the Tory party from the mess we find ourselves in.
@Blackmamba12345 A very small growth blaming the pandemic and the Ukraine war are pathetic excuses the problem started when David Cameron introduced the austerity measures making cuts to everything had he looked to grow the economy as he should have done then it would have been strong at the time of the pandemic.
Farage isn't destroying the Tories - they did that to themselves.
@@chinering23 His mistake Torys fault There fixed it
Hope so! Vote reform
Farage was previously leader of the Brexit party yknow
So what....@@zavaraninoveuhorky

NIGEL LISTENS TO THE PEOPLE. VOTE REFORM SAVE OUR COUNTRY AND OUR LIVES. REFORM ALL THE WAY
the white people*
Putin/ Farage it’s a winner
Does he "listen to the people"?. It seems to me he is one of the most self obsessed men in politics who loves the sound of his own voice.
I'm voting Reform and I know a few people who have decided to vote for them!
The population is sick to death of the conservative and labour parties!
Whoever votes for Labour are idiots - because they are no better than the Tories! Time for change and I'm throwing in my lot with Reform!
They destroyed themselves!
Nigel is the only way
I'm not from UK but the country if being ruined by liberals just like in the USA. I think Nigel is the only one who has balls to tell how it is. Conservative countries are worried that if the worlds most influential countries (US and UK) goes full "woke" it will spread to them like fire.
Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧 👍
are you bots paid by the left to take votes away from the Tories?
Otherwise the meaning of your comments is inexplicable.
It di not need Nigel Farage to destroy the Tories , they did it to themselves .....now , instead of voting Labour , or not voting at all , there is a Party Loyal to the UK to Vote for .
Here on Tyneside the talk on the streets is Reform is going to get a huge vote. So they are also taking votes from Labour.
Same where I am in North lincolnshire, net zero destroying the local steel works both labour and the tories have sold us down the river devastating the local town
The media trying to hide it incase more people consider voting Reform and actually realize how good their policies are for working people.
Thank you Tyneside ❤
Nigel Farage is the most exciting thing thats happened to British politics for decades. The man speaks the truth and oozes passion.
Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧 👍
Farage for PM
Your just full of lies, just like farrage, I can find literally 100s of videos of him lying? So you are either lying or completely naive 😂 which is it?
Trouble is though in reality every vote which isn't for conservatives will be giving Labour a greater lead. Sorry to say but if you vote Reform then Labour will even more likely get in.
@@Blackmamba12345 We already know Labour will win buts it's about gaining seats. Do you really expect everyone to vote Tory after the past 15 years of lies and bull???
This is just the beginning my friend.
@@Blackmamba12345I thought voting had nothing to do with statistics but with what you believe in.
I agree, Putin made the right pick .🤣🤣🤣 Genius move from Vlad .
Only REFORM offers HOPE for this nation, it’s children and grandchildren🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧other parties nothing but despair
VOTE REFORM🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Will Nigel Farage destroy the Tory party?
one can only hope, true conservatism throws out what is broken and useless while keeping that which is foundational and proven to work. The conservative party needs to go.
Labour is weaker, due to the last election
He will destroy the curropt two party system. It is time for change. Our politicians no longer represent our interests.
Just for your lack of information. Labour voted at the conference on Oct 23 for proportional representation by an overwhelming majority.
@@paulbailey1894 AV is not proportional representation despite what our overlords tell you.
@@paulbailey1894 your lack of critical thinking skills is astounding
@sambaliwingo your conspiracy theories about Farage ain’t falling anyone
@sambaliwingo You make comments about trolls and spend your day stalking Reform on UA-cam. ...at least for the 1 month you've been on UA-cam.
Did you watch Reform UK Rally, if not watch!! Mind blowing fabulous a force to recognise...
I watched it. Some weird, creepy old men. Not safe for women or children.
never again would i vote tories they are brown toast! reform!
Vote Reform.
We can only hope.
The tories deserve nothing more than Zero Seats.
Vote Reform everybody
Well I would but our candidate is a racist. So Im going to leave it
NO
It’s great that Brexit has destroyed the Tory party and then Farage and Reform which is a Brexit party have helped finish the job.
It was the lack of Brexit and out of control covid spending.
Brexit itself was great as we escaped eu fascism. That’s why farage is so popular
That's the simple truth whatever party one supports, it just so happens that Labour is now the beneficiary of Reform and its deluded supporters.
You do know the Reform party ````is/was`````` the Brexit party, it was a name change after Brexit was ````obtained`````????/.
Can you say that again in English please?
@@andywatts8654 Isn't Reform just home grown English Facism?
Reform!🙏
Well, Britain is broken and it does need reform.
But is Reform UK the party to deliver the reform you want?
@@marksimons8861yes
@@marksimons8861 Which other party will stop mass immigrtion putting a strain on every service? Not Labour or Tory thats for sure, they both increased it.
Which party is against the pointless net zet virtue signal, that will make everyone poorer, none of the other parties that have all signed up to get profits for their global elite masters.
Nah, its time to break the corrupt two party circus that take us in a circle of failure and have very little difference on the main direction of the country, down.
Yes from me
Well Brexit was a big hit, so lets get some more !
Vote Reform Party and save the UK.
In the sense that they will take away more votes from the Tories without risking sending Farage the clown into parliament?
@@cuginidifrancia94 The clowns of the show are the Labour voters.
@@Xenophon1 Not at Farage's level, he was better on reality shows.
Those who doubt Reform are in for a hell of a shock on the 5th, we are on the verge of a political earthquake.
It would be a landslide for Refrom if the media were remotely fair and unbiased, but now they've even rolled out the old Russian interference smear, some gullible people will fall for it, although most of those were already voting Labour.
The Tory party has destroyed the Tory party 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Implosion of incompetent losers
If the population of UK has any common sense left in them they should Vote for reform party or face inevitable Doom.
Vote Reform 😅
They destroyed there selves when the ousted truss for there man sunak reform forme
Looks like he already has. Well done, Nigel. Labour next!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you have not even passed the tories yet.
@@paulbailey1894 Hi Paul, I will be coming back to your comment in 4 years time when Nigel is your Prime Minister. Remember this comment, remember me, and please be anxious leading up to the 4 years coming until he is PM. Your fragile leftist soul will be anxious for 4 years, and I will be waiting for you.
WITH REFORM THE OPPOSITION!!
@@paulbailey1894the polls say they have. Your comment has aged like a fine wine.
@@johnchristmas7522 For Farage to become the George Galloway of the right does not make him the opposition, just a loen voice on the backbenches.
The tories destroyed themselves, by forgetting what they are in parliament to do. Next time do what the people want and not just whatever makes you more likely to get re-elected. Let the downfall of the tories serve as a warning to the next lot. Behave- or you'll be getting the boot too.
Can you destroy something that has destroyed itself?
I hope so, just to shut up the chronic media talking heads.
I what change now so i will vote reform
Why not just buy the Beano ?
Trust me first the Tories then Labour!
Is it ok if I don’t
VOTE REFORM UK
Government for the people not the self-serving poopies.
The Tories destroyed themselves 😮
Tory Party first then the easy pickings of Labour next.
What's left of them
Then join our friends from the east. Farage/ Putin it’s the only way
The Conservatives do not need Farage to destroy them, they have shown that they are more than capable of doing that themselves.

You better believe he can.

Yeah the media is freaking out, pulling out every smear tactic in the book, they've even wheeled out their trusy "it must be the Russians" smear again!
Nigel for PM.
One thing that one can know for absolute certain is that he'll never form part of a goverment, let alone become PM. With his help Labour will remain in power for the next ten years.
@@adagietto2523 The current Conservatives are left of blair ffs. Seriously, go listen to some of his speeches on immigration; his rhetoric would get you called far right by the Tories nowadays. They tax more than blair. They spend more than blair. They have more deranged green policies than blair. They have harsher speech laws than blair, and they've cheered as progressivism infiltrated every institution we have. Saying "But Labour will be worse!!" is no longer a meaningful election tactic, because the Tories are taking us to the exact same destination as Labour.
@@adagietto2523 I really don't understand this logic, the conservatives have a big majority and still threw it away it's never guaranteed at all
@@adagietto2523 😂😂😂😂
@@adagietto2523 He doesnt need to be. UKIP and 3.9 million voters forced the eu referendum out of a panicking conMoron, he changed the entire political outlook for the whole continent and never entered Westminster to do it.

I would never vote for Labour , but im so happy Reform have destroyed the Tories.
The UK definitely needs change.
Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧

Well napoleon you going to lose again….so go get a hobby.
There is nothing you can’t see with your own eyes what’s going on in this country and if can’t then you must be blind….so where’s the con numpty.
One born every minute!
I don't care if it's Left or Right, I just want common sense! - Vote Reform
No. He isn't capable of doing that. The tory Party however is capable of destroying the tory Party and they have done exactly that by not doing the one thing the vast majority of the UK has asked them to do time and again since the 1960s and in particular since 1997. Namely, stop the genocidal replacement of the UK populace via mass immigration. We asked them. We asked them again. Then again. And again and again and again and again and again and again and again. We're not asking them anymore.
Why?
1. The 'party of business' went to war on small businesses'.
2. The 'party of low taxes' has raised taxes across the board.
Reform are proposing to do something about it. Labour are seeking to make it even worse!
3.
TORIES DESTROYED THEMSELVES LONG AGO!!!!! farage will only finish them nicely
0 seats are what the Tories deserve
Labour deserve 0 seats too, for covering up the grooming gangs for years!
Was in London a few weeks ago, farage needs to lead UK
He couldn’t lead a barn dance
@@willsum61Did he smash your wife or something? You're on every comment screeching about him lmfao 😂
They have destroyed them selves
Nothing to lose….I’m voting Reform UK 🇬🇧
Your dignity?
@@willsum61 the Con party have already taken that …so definitely nothing to lose
I think the tories have destroyed themselves.
Done and dusted, didn't take much effort TBH
How is it that reform is destroying the Tory party, when it is voters that are going to do that, if the reform party wasn't there then the Tory voters would just sit on their hands and not vote, because the Tory party is no longer Conservative
It is to be hugely wished for. The Tories have betrayed us.
They have already THE UK IS VOTING REFORM ❤
Farage doesn't need to destroy the Conservative party. The tories have already done that.
Fingers crossed , legs crossed and cross eyed .
0:44 “According to one poll by yougov it may even be ahead of them”
What? There have been half a dozen polls saying that. More often than not it says reform are ahead.
“Abolish Inheritance Tax (IHT) for all Estates Under £2m” - Reform UK Contract.
On this alone, Reform have my vote!
They committed suicide .
VOTE REFORM, NOT THE NORM.
I believe that the lies and inertia by various Conservative politicians have seriously harmed there own party.
Ritchie Rish Sunak has no idea at all. He seems to be determined to put forward utterly pathetic policies. I am baffled by his total lack of understanding about what his voter wanted. To be clear, I have voted for Nigel for many years. Unfortunately, there isn't a Reform candidate in my constituency.
When one pushes ones own self destruct button . There's no need to destroy anything . REFORM UK RACING IT'S WAY TO NUM 10 And we must see that he gets there.
I think he already has 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I hope so - they are conservative in name only.
Let's hope reformUK ❤ 🤞

We need to withdraw from the UN, WHO, WEF etc as well but we would be isolated!
Suella and truss will join reform as they are fed up with the home office ignoring their instruction
The tories beat him to it
The Conservatives have proved that they are perfectly capable of destroying themselves without any help from Nigel.
This should say destroying labour, tories are already done
The Tories have had 14yrs to fix Britain but instead they have broken us by their lack of action against woke culture!...their failure to act decisively to stop the boats!..they fuelled inflation by not capping energy prices and the price of fuel at the pumps!..
The Reform rally was inspiring to watch.!...fantastic speeches full of common sense...the Tories could learn a lot from Reform!
A lot of ex Labour voters will also be voting Reform!.
Tories begone labour as well vote for change vote reform
As others have said the Tory infighting has finished the Tory party. Nigel is there now to hopefully pick up the ex Tory voters. If all people who voted Tory last election vote Reform we will have a better straight talking (not political hogwash) government with a leader who will say what most of us think.
Farage doesn’t have to do anything the Tories destroyed their own Party thank goodness!
VOTE REFORM!! 🇬🇧
It's going to be critical that everyone who wants Reform UK, gets out and votes.
Please don't leave it to others.
Every vote counts, and remember to take your photo ID with you 👍
And they will surprise Labour
They couldn’t surprise my nan !
@@willsum61 I know , your nan's voting Reform .
REFORM REFORM REFORM 👏👏🏴🏴 we are sick of both parties and how our country has become
Nigel doesn’t need to destroy the Tories. They have destroyed themselves.
Who cares what the wet Times says. Vote Reform 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why am I classed as 'The Right' for supporting Reform. What's Right wing about it.......The fact I'm proud of where I live and the history, culture and social background of England. Why is the Times calling me right wing for a party that embraces cultural diversity with controlled immigration like most other countries of the world. Can someone from the times explain that to me please.
No they did that all by themselves!!
Former Labour voter here who will be voting Reform
They don't need any help Nigel Farage.
If we didn’t have a biased election system I think reform could win outright.
The conservatives have had years to fix things and all they do is make things sweeter for big corporations and make the average family suffer and pay for their never ending lies and betrayals. Vote reform 🇬🇧
He has actually already done a good job of destroying the Tories through all the difficulties produced by Brexit. Perhaps the most effective politician of our time, but also the most counterproductive, as one on the right helping Labour to power, with a massive majority on this occasion. If he was really to do anything about reducing migration, he would have had to help the Tories reamin in power and then push it in that direction. What he is actualkly done is give Labour an opportunity to increase it massively over ten years.
Yes
Hope so I dread to think what we will become if we follow the current path… VOTE REFORM
Why is that? Because he roots for Britain!
If that 16 % who are headed to Labour decided to go to Reform they would actually have a far better chance of getting what they want. It's so strange how they can't seem to see and understand that
