  • Priti Patel has sparked a fresh war of words with Nigel Farage after branding Reform UK a "pop-up act". The shadow foreign secretary hit out as the Tories vie with their right-wing rivals for Donald Trump's approval.

The article discusses former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel's criticism of Reform UK, calling it a "pop-up act" and suggesting that the Conservative Party should not be distracted by it. This comes as both the Conservative Party and Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, are seemingly competing for the approval of former US President Donald Trump. Patel's comments were made during a Conservative Democratic Organization conference, where she emphasized the need for the Conservative Party to focus on its own agenda rather than being sidetracked by other political entities. The article also touches on the broader political context, including the upcoming UK general election and the dynamics within the Conservative Party, as well as the influence of Trump's endorsement in British politics.
