Labour and Tories are both 'social democrats', says Farage

Reform UK's honorary president has questioned if there was a Conservative Party today, claiming the party has destroyed itself.

Nigel Farage said Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer were "not all that far apart", when asked by BBC political editor Chris Mason if he was trying to join the Conservatives or destroy the party.

Mr Farage previously announced he would not be a candidate in the next general election but would campaign for the party.Live coverage of the general election campaign
