Nigel Farage has suggested Reform UK could merge with the defeated Tories after the general election - as he dropped the strongest hint yet he will return to frontline politics.

The insurgent party has also recently seen ex-Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson defect to their ranks. He pointed to the example of Canadian politics in the 1990s, when a similarly-named Reform Party exploited discontent with the mainstream centre-right party. Mr Farage has previously urged unity on the right of British politics and admitted he and Tory MPs such as Sir Jacob Rees Mogg will some day 'have to be in the same party'

'The kids are all grown up… getting back into politics means giving all that up. But maybe, just maybe.' Mr Farage has recently flirted with a return to the Conservatives, a party he quit more than 30 years ago following the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992.
