Reform will win ‘350 to 400’ seats at next General Election in landslide victory over Labour, party chairman insists

REFORM will win “350 to 400 seats” at the next election, the party’s chairman insisted today.

Zia Yusuf claimed his outfit will secure a landslide victory in 2029, obliterating Labour across the country.

Mr Yusuf told the BBC: “We will win between 350 and 400 members of parliament.”

It comes after a bombshell poll by YouGov this week found that for the first time, Nigel Farage is the most popular choice for PM in Britain.

Meanwhile, Reform stormed to victory in three of six town hall by-elections held on Friday.

The party took over two seats on Medway town hall and one in Tendring council in Mr Farage’s Clacton constituency.

Mr Yusuf said: “The turquoise wave is a ray of sunshine amidst the dark skies of this Labour government.

“You are giving the British people hope.”

On Thursday Robert Jenrick opened the door to a Tory-Reform deal after Mr Farage’s party topped the national poll.

But he was swiftly slapped down by Tory chiefs, who scrambled to put out a statement distancing the party from any pact.

The Shadow Justice Secretary refused to rule out an alliance with Farage weeks after Kemi Badenoch made clear she would never work with him.

The Tory leader had declared last month: “Nigel Farage says he wants to destroy the Conservative Party. Why on earth would we merge with that?”

But refusing to match her firm stance, Mr Jenrick told Never Mind The Ballots: “Reform themselves are saying they don’t want to. Reform has said repeatedly they have no intention of doing this. Kemi has said she doesn't want to do it either. 

Appearing on our Never Mind The Ballots show, Mr Jenrick left the door open to future cooperation, insisting the Tories must win back disillusioned right-wing voters.

Ms Badenoch's former leadership rival said: “Reform themselves are saying they don’t want to. Reform has said repeatedly they have no intention of doing this. Kemi has said she has no intention."

Mr Jenrick added: “My whole mission is to bring home all the small-c conservatives in this country back to the Conservative Party. We should be their natural home. We’re not at the moment, because of the mistakes we made in office. It can be done.”
