REFORM UK can win a general election outright with Nigel Farage in charge, former Home Office minister Ann Widdecombe has claimed.
Widdecombe, a member of Reform UK, the re-named Brexit Party, said Farage can repeat the success his party had in the run-up to the referendum.
She told GB News: “Well, it can be done, if you just look at our place in the polls. At the beginning of the year, we only had a few percent. Now we’re regularly getting double figures, one poll even had as high as 12%.
“Obviously people are turning to us, because they don’t like what the two major parties are offering and Nigel is charismatic and people follow him, as was proven with those Brexit European elections.
“People will follow him as long as Reform continues to do what Reform’s set out to do, which is to talk common sense. That is what people want to hear.”
In a discussion during Patrick Christys Tonight, she said: “There’s no common sense coming out of the Tories at the moment, none at all, and there’s none from Labour.
“The fact is that it can only happen if people have the courage of their convictions. I lost count of the number of people who said to me last time, oh, you know, I’d like to vote for the Brexit party, but I’m afraid of Corbyn.
“I don’t actually think people are afraid of Stormer, they should be but they’re not.”
She added: “People may decide this is the moment. As I’ve said to everybody, if you want more of the same, vote for more of the same. If you want real change, real common sense, vote Reform.
