Britain could be thrown into a completely new political landscape after the election on July 4, says Brexit advocate Nigel Farage, leader of the right-wing populist Reform party.
The Conservative Tory Party is doing poorly in the polls and is overshadowed by Reform, which has made immigration opposition and opposition to British climate policy its heart issues.
In an interview with LBC, Farage says that the Tory Party "may very well be dead" after the election. It opens the way for a merger or collaboration on the right with Farage as leader, he predicts himself.
- I think it could be that I lead the opposition against a Labor that has a large majority.

Sunak is sentenced after debate - employees are investigated
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has had a tough election campaign and the conservative Tory Party looks set for defeat in the July 4 election. On Wednesday night, the next setback came when Sunak debated Labor leader Keir Starmer on Sky News.
Sunak was peppered with critical questions about everything from covid regulations to tax policy and was booed by the audience when he blamed the care queues on striking staff. A poll of 1,800 viewers immediately after the debate showed that two-thirds voted Starmer the winner.
To top it all off, one of Sunak's closest associates is being investigated after it was discovered that he bet money on the gambling market that the next election would be held in July. The employee made the bet just three days before Sunak announced the election, as revealed by The Guardian yesterday.

Sunak's sacrifice: We didn't have all pay channels
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's vast wealth and privileged background have been highlighted by the opposition Labor party ahead of the election. Sunak's answer is now front page stuff on many UK sites.
In an interview with ITV, Sunak said his parents saved money for the children's education and that, like many Britons, the family had to make sacrifices. The reporter then asked him to give an example. After some consideration time, Sunak replied that the family did not have the pay channel Sky TV.
"It will not convince many voters that he can understand them," writes The Guardian's political editor Pippa Crerar.
The Prime Minister and his wife Akshata Murty are said to have a fortune of 651 million pounds, equivalent to 8.6 billion kroner. Most of that comes from Murty, whose father founded the Indian IT giant Infosys.
