Nigel Farage has ruled out joining the Tory party - having previously not gone so far when asked about his future ambitions.

Nigel Farage has ruled out joining the Tory party saying he wants 'nothing to do with them'. Some Conservatives want the Reform UK leader to join their ranks to combat his rising popularity in the polls. Election latest: Reform candidate disowns party amid racism row - and backs Tories Mr Farage has previously told Sky News this was 'not on my agenda' but did not categorically reject the idea when pressed repeatedly.

He is making his eighth bid to become an MP, this time in Clacton in Essex, and while some polls project him to win, the UK's first past-the-post voting system makes it difficult for Reform to make huge strides in a couple of elections. Earlier this month Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates asked him if the Tory party would be a better vehicle for his ambitions post-election and if he would rule out joining.
