Reform UK leader Richard Tice has escalated his attacks on the Labour Party, warning the country faces 'Starmergeddon' if it elects Sir Keir Starmer. Speaking at a press conference, Mr Tice called for an immediate general election, arguing that voters want to 'punish the Tories for breaking Britain'.
Mr Tice accused both Labour and the Conservatives of betraying working-class voters on immigration, claiming the government had 'opened the borders to mass uncontrolled immigration'. He also warned that a Labour government would bring 'a catastrophic cocktail of economic incompetence'.
The Reform UK leader reiterated that his party would stand candidates in every seat across England, Scotland and Wales, ruling out any electoral pact with the Tories. 'The best way to avoid Starmergeddon is for everybody to vote for Reform UK,' he said, adding that only his party's policies could 'save Britain'.
Mr Tice also unveiled Ben Habib as Reform's candidate for the Wellingborough by-election. He expressed confidence that Nigel Farage would play a role in the party's campaign, though Mr Farage is 'still assessing' the extent of his involvement.
