  • Pandering to Reform won’t revive the Conservative Party, it will kill it

    Opinion

    The Conservative Party doesn't need to unite with Reform, it needs to remember what it stands for, writes Aaron Newbury.

    LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 29: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage smokes a cigarette and drinks a pint of ale outside a pub on August 29, 2024 in London, England. The UK government is looking at tougher rules on outdoor smoking to reduce the number of preventable deaths linked to tobacco use. Leader of the Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, said he would never go to a pub again if outside smoking is banned. He accuses the government of ignoring drug abuse, instead implementing policies that will "kill off the traditional pub forever." (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
