Former Prime Minister warns against engaging with Reform leader

05 July 2025 · 12:26 UTC

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has advised the Conservative Party to ignore Nigel Farage, warning that responding to the Reform UK leader would only elevate his influence.

Johnson’s remarks reflect mounting tensions on the political right as Farage’s party gains ground among disaffected Tory voters.

The former premier urged party members to focus on policy delivery rather than reacting to populist rhetoric.
