YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Most of the polling evidence at the moment is heading in Kemi Badenoch’s direction rather than Nigel Farage’s.”
Despite Reform UK's current polling lead, Kemi Badenoch holds a stronger hand in any potential "unite the right" negotiations because she appeals to a broader section of the electorate than Nigel Farage, says Conservative peer and election analyst Lord Hayward.
Lord Hayward was speaking to Kate McCann and Calum Macdonald on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live everyday from 6am-10am.
