Farage Addresses Membership Claims Amid Controversy

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has publicly condemned Kemi Badenoch for accusing him of inflating membership figures, calling her claims 'absolutely disgusting.' This feud escalated after Reform UK claimed its membership surpassed the Conservative Party's, prompting Badenoch to label the figures as 'fake.' Farage has hinted at potential legal action but has not provided specifics, asserting that he will clarify his plans soon. Meanwhile, Reform UK is reportedly gaining momentum in the polls, positioned as a significant third party amidst struggles for both Labour and the Conservatives. Farage has also criticized Labour’s proposed ban on trail hunting, framing it as an attack on rural communities. Additionally, there are internal discussions within Labour regarding potentially leveraging Farage's connections with Donald Trump to improve UK-US relations, a move met with caution from some party members.
