Badenoch: I Do Not Support Local Coalitions With Reform

The longtime line from Badenoch was: no deals with Reform. This morning the Tory leader said of local coalition agreements with Reform:

“I’ve seen Conservatives go into coalition with Labour, with Liberal Democrats, with Independents. You don’t get to have a rerun of an election at local level, so what I’m telling local leaders across the country (is) they have to do what is right for the people in their local area.
