London: So, Nigel Farage is stirring the pot again. He’s threatening to sue Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, over some claims about Reform UK’s membership numbers. Apparently, she called a membership tracker they showed a “fake.”
Farage posted a video on his X account, claiming they had more members than the Tories. He even projected a membership counter onto the Conservative Party’s headquarters. The number went over 131,680, which is more than the eligible members in the Tory leadership election.
He was pretty fired up about the accusations of fraud and dishonesty, calling them disgraceful. To prove his point, he opened up his membership data to several news outlets for transparency.
Farage is demanding an apology from Badenoch. He’s not just going to sit back and take it. He said he’s going to take some action soon if she doesn’t back down.
Badenoch didn’t hold back either. She accused Farage of manipulating his supporters and claimed the ticker was rigged to show inflated numbers. She said they’ve been monitoring it and noticed changes in the code.
Farage responded, saying he finds her comments outrageous and that he’s not happy about it at all. He’s got a reputation for being a bit fiery, so it’s no surprise he’s ready to fight back.
He mentioned he’d reveal his next steps in a couple of days if she doesn’t apologize. Meanwhile, Reform UK showed Sky News the coding behind their membership ticker, which they say proves it’s not automated.
