Rishi Sunak refuses to rule out Nigel Farage returning to the Conservative Party as a member

• Reform UK honorary president joked that he would lead the Tories in the future

Rishi Sunak has declined to rule out Nigel Farage rejoining the Conservative Party as a member, describing the party as a ‘broad church’.

Mr Farage left the Tories in 1992 following the signing of the Maastricht Treaty and has since led Ukip and the Brexit Party, now called Reform UK. He is currently honorary president of Reform UK.

Asked about Boris Johnson’s father Stanley saying the party needed a man of Mr Farage’s ‘talents’, Mr Sunak did not reject the possibility of him returning.

The PM said: ‘Our party has always been a broad church but my focus is consistently on delivering on the things that matter to people.’
