Pointing out that Farage has previously spoken of his desire to “destroy” the Tories, Burghart said: “That makes for a pretty difficult first date, doesn’t it?
Phillips then asked him: “Let us get this absolutely clear. Let us suppose that Nigel Farage said ‘actually, when I said I wanted to destroy the Conservative Party, I didn’t mean I want to destroy the Conservative Party. I want to work with the Conservative Party’.“Are you completely ruling out the possibility that a Conservative Party may reach an understanding, accommodation with Reform?”
“This is not a sensible conversation, Trevor. The fact is that at the moment there is one party that says it wants to completely take us out. We are on a mission to try and get a majority at the next election and that’s what we’re going to do under Kemi.”Phillips then accused Burghart of “going a million miles around the simple question ‘are you ruling out a deal with Reform, ever’?”
