Nigel Farage has claimed Reform UK is now the main challenger to Labour in the Midlands, North, Wales and Scotland, pushing the Conservatives into third place. In a campaign speech, he said voters felt betrayed by the Tories over Brexit and immigration, adding that backing the Conservatives in red wall areas would be a “wasted vote.” Report by Covellm.

00:00In the Midlands, in the North, in Wales and in Scotland, reform is now the opposition to the
00:07Labour Party, with the Conservatives trailing some way behind. And in these red wall areas,
00:14any thought that the Conservatives would start to win again, seats that they surprised people
00:20with in 2019, some here indeed in County Durham, it's for the birds. The sheer level of betrayal
00:28of what people who voted for Boris Johnson in 2019 got. They didn't get the Brexit they
00:34voted for, and they got mass immigration on a scale never seen before in the history of
00:40these islands. Those people are not ever going to trust the Conservative Party up here again,
00:47and frankly, nor should they. So I can tell you that if you're considering voting Conservative
00:54in these areas, you are wasting your vote. Because if you want a party that can beat Labour,
01:00it is now very clearly reform.
