has rejected fresh calls for Reform to strike an election pact with the .
The Reform leader said he did not trust the after pulling out Party candidates at the 2019 ballot.
The Clacton MP was responding to ex-home secretary Suella Braverman backing an agreement between the two parties, which are currently neck-and-neck in polling.
Mr Farage told LBC: “Back in 2019 we’d won the European elections as the Party, we’d got rid of Mrs May, we’d open the door for .
“And as an act of goodwill to really get over the line I withdrew candidates from 320 seats which contributed significantly to Boris’s 80-seat majority.
“I did it because I believed it was the right thing for the country to do to end this constant battle to actually get over the line.

“What was I rewarded with? I was rewarded by a party that had promised again and again to reduce net migration to tens of thousands a year, who in 2023 gave us net migration of one million. One million.
“I was rewarded by every industry, from fishing to financial services, not deregulating, not getting rid of EU rules, which for many people, was one of the reasons for voting .
“And frankly, I feel pretty let down by them as well. So really, the question you’re asking me is, would I trust them? And the answer is, no.”
Mrs Braverman yesterday said she would support a pact between Reform and the if it meant “stopping” Sir ‘s party.
She said: “I’ve been warning for some time about the severe threat that the Conservative Party faces at the moment, and you know, we have been hurt by the Reform Party, because their success has been, as you say, meteoric in a very short space of time, and much of our defeat was because of Reform.
“I’ve lost count of the number of my colleagues who lost their seats in July because they were Reformed, effectively. This is our fault.
“The Conservative Party failed to tackle immigration. We failed to cut taxes, and we failed to stand up for common sense, patriotic values. And it’s our fault that Reform has risen so exponentially.
“In terms of going forward, if you look at the polling, look at this last poll that came out yesterday, if you take the collective vote share of the and Reform, we’re approaching 50% of the vote.
“I think it would come up to 47% or something like that. You can’t win an election outright on 25%, and ultimately, you know, I’m someone who really does think that we should do whatever it takes to stop another Labour administration.
“And if there is, you know, if there is territory for agreement and coalition, I don’t know what you call it or what form it takes, and these discussions will crystallise nearer the election, I do think that if there is alignment between the and the Reform Party at the time of the next election, if it means stopping another five years of Labour, I would support it.”
