Quite eye-opening tonight on Look North listening to Edward Leigh who retained his Conservative seat in Gainsborough saying he thinks the Tories should invite Farage and Reform to join them in a new coalition to oppose Labour. Are they really that desperate to cling onto the hope they can regain power next time by forging an unlikely alliance with the far right in the shape of Reform? Wonder if that includes the racist and fascist elements so strong within Farages party that he as leader is happy to embrace?, seems unbelievable but perhaps shows how far down the s**t pan the Tories have fallen.
