Has Farage put a nail in the Tory coffin? | LBC debate

Iain Dale’s Cross Question panel debate whether Nigel Farage’s election u-turn is a ‘destructive move’.

It comes after Nigel Farage said he would be the "voice of opposition" to Labour as he announced he would stand at the General Election for Reform UK, in a last-minute change of heart.

The former UKIP leader made his candidacy announcement at a press conference in south-east London on Monday afternoon, saying he wants to lead a "political revolt".

The 58-year-old has tried to become an MP on seven occasions between 1994 and 2015.

Most recently he was defeated in the 2015 general election for the seat of South Thanet in Kent by Conservative opponent Craig Mackinlay.
