'Here's the truth of it': Nigel Farage makes dire Labour general election prediction


Nigel Farage has predicted Labour is heading for a decade in power at the next general election.

The former Ukip and Brexit Party leader said he believes Sir Keir Starmer is set for 10 years in Downing Street due to anger at the Tories.

He also insisted Reform UK is going to play a key part in “realigning the centre right of British politics”.

But he said he was undecided over his future amid rumours of a sensational political comeback.

Mr Farage told GB News: “I think Labour has got a decade in power written in already, such is the level of disenchantment at the Conservatives and what they’ve done.

“I don’t know whether the Conservatives are going to be replaced, whether they’re going to be changed.

“What I do know is that Reform is going to play a very important role in realigning the centre right of British politics to give us a proper choice.

“I’m already the founder of the party, I chose the name, I set it up. I’m the president.

“I’m going to support Ben Habib in the Wellingborough by-election because I think it could actually be a very good wake-up call for the whole Westminster establishment.

“As to as to whether I get more deeply involved or not, I don’t know. I haven’t decided I’m weighing up all the options.

“One of those options being that I do enjoy being part of the broadcasting revolution at GB News and giving that up would be really quite a big price to pay in many ways.

“I don’t yet know what I’m going to do but make no mistake, I do think Reform is on the right path, over the course of the next six years, to change British politics in a way that most can’t imagine.”

Mr Farage added politics is “failing at every level” and called for a “complete revolution in the way things are done”.

He said: “This is not a one election plan, let’s be clear about that. Richard Tice is not saying, ‘vote for us and we’ll form the next government.’ Richard Tice is saying, ‘vote for us and let’s begin this revolution.’

“We got back self-government – great. Now we have to work out how to use it and how to do it rather more effectively than either Labour or Conservatives can.

“So it’s a long-term game and we’ll level with the voters on that.

“And ultimately, you know this idea – vote Reform, you’ll get Labour. Here’s the truth of it. We’re going to get Labour anyway.

“Today’s YouGov poll had Labour 24 points ahead, so this attempt to try and squeeze the Reform vote won’t work because they’re doomed.”
