A potential political realignment is brewing on the British right as Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson explore a Tory-Reform alliance to oust Labour in the next general election, sources close to Reform UK have revealed.
According to insider reports, Farage is open to working with Johnson “in the national interest”—a move that could reshape the UK’s political landscape. The discussions come as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government faces a dramatic collapse in public support, leading to an urgent recalibration of strategy among conservative factions.
With the Conservatives trailing in third place in some polls, and wealthy donors shifting their backing to Reform UK, speculation is mounting over a possible Farage-Boris electoral pact. According to recent polling, Reform is at 24%, with Labour and the Tories tied at 23%. If an alliance is formed, it could secure 353 seats—a commanding position in Parliament.
Despite Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives publicly rejecting talks with Reform UK, insiders confirm that key allies of Farage and former Tory leadership contender Robert Jenrick recently held informal discussions at an exclusive Mayfair club about ‘uniting the right’. While neither Farage nor Jenrick sanctioned the discussions, the idea of consolidating the Right to prevent Labour from holding power is gaining momentum.
Sources close to Farage suggest that if Reform maintains its polling lead, he will demand key policy concessions before agreeing to any pact. These include scrapping the UK’s net zero targets and mirroring Trump’s governance model, with high-profile figures like Elon Musk-style technocrats appointed to lead government departments.
Farage’s previous electoral concessions in 2019, when he stood down candidates to support Johnson’s Brexit deal, ended in disappointment—making him more cautious about future arrangements. “Nigel is convinced the Tories can’t win alone,” a source told New Daily Prime. “The future of the Right is being decided now. He proved in 2016 he can put ego aside, but Boris would have to guarantee clear agreements this time.”

Despite being out of Parliament, Boris Johnson remains a dominant figure within the Conservative Party. His allies believe the Tories must re-establish their identity and policies instead of simply mimicking Reform’s populist appeal. However, insiders suggest Johnson is weighing a return to Parliament, a move that could complicate relations with Badenoch’s leadership if she refuses to step aside.
“Boris would never defect from the Conservatives,” a source confirmed. “But if the Tories’ fortunes don’t improve, a Brexit-style collaboration could be the way forward.”
Reform UK has been making inroads into Labour’s traditional working-class heartlands, posing a threat to both major parties. With local elections approaching, Reform strategists plan to warn voters that “a vote for the Tories is a vote for Labour,” signaling their push to become the dominant right-wing force.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, a longtime Johnson ally, recently echoed concerns about a three-party race, saying: “If we enter the next election in this three-horse race without a pact, we may well see Labour keep its majority—and just look how badly they’re governing.”
Several possibilities for an agreement have emerged, including a non-aggression pact, where Reform and the Tories could agree not to compete in certain constituencies; a coalition government, similar to the Liberal-SDP alliance of the 1980s; or a full merger, creating a dominant right-wing ‘mega party’ to take on Labour.
With Labour’s support plummeting, the Tory-Reform alliance remains a real possibility—but the key question is whether Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage can agree on terms. As the next election approaches, all eyes will be on the Conservative Party’s internal battles, the rise of Reform UK, and whether ‘uniting the Right’ could reshape British politics.
