Rishi Sunak will challenge Nigel Farage’s campaign and urge undecided voters to support him in order to prevent a Labour government led by Keir Starmer, criticising Labour’s economic management and calling for a “supermajority”.

Kemi Badneoch has criticised Nigel Farage, alleging he is indifferent to whether Reform UK candidates are racists or misogynists, as reported by The Times.

The Times reports on a Reform UK campaigner caught on film suggesting migrants crossing the Channel should be used as “target practice”.

A Labour Party member, who was arrested in Islington, north London, is suspected of operating a “honeytrap” targeting MPs and political candidates and Labour has suspended the individual while an investigation is conducted.
