Nigel Farage Hints at Potential Return to Politics
Former UKIP and Brexit Party leader rules out standing as a Conservative candidate under current leadership, but leaves door open for future political involvement.
- Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK Independence Party and the Brexit Party, has hinted at a potential return to politics following his appearance on the reality TV show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', where he finished third.
- Farage has ruled out standing as a Conservative candidate while Rishi Sunak is leader, but did not rule out a return to politics, saying he would 'have a chat' if Boris Johnson called him.
- Farage's appearance on the show and subsequent popularity has led to speculation about a potential return to the Conservative Party, which he left in 1992.
- Despite the speculation, some political observers believe Farage is more likely to lead the right-wing fringe party Reform UK into the nationwide vote.
- Farage's comments have kept hopes alive for those on the right of the Tory party that they could fashion some kind of deal with Farage's Reform UK party, which is now polling at about 9%.
