Reform and Nigel Farage have finally made a response to our offer in the Daily Telegraph - I will go through their four conditions…
The Reform Chairman, Lee Anderson, has said Reform will not step aside in any constituencies. Reform should ‘always’ be on the ballot paper.
Meaning that Reform plan to run in every seat, even if there is an arrangement. This is not a constructive start.
I have been realistic. Clearly, the whole point of any arrangement would be not to divide the electoral force. That would mean certain Restore Britain candidates standing aside to ensure a sensible and pragmatic approach to our voting system.
If Reform are not willing to reciprocate in any constituencies, any at all, the offer I have made is entirely redundant.
They have also said we must endorse Farage to be Prime Minister, and allow the failed Conservative ministers to again be part of a future cabinet.
Contrary to reports, I have never said that Reform must dump anybody. That is not my place to do so. It is their party, it is entirely Reform’s choice who they run to be MPs or employ - it is putting these same ministers who failed Britain into a future cabinet which Restore Britain has helped to empower that I take issue with. Restore Britain will not be responsible for handing Nadhim Zahawi, Nadine Dorries and others some of the most powerful jobs in the country.
Farage and Reform have also said that Restore Britain must outright sack Charlie Downes - putting a young Christian man out of work, just as he is looking to build his life and start a family.
That is simply not how I operate.
But I want to be clear - if a sensible reciprocal arrangement can be found on our proposed policy platform, we would be willing to stand our Restore Britain candidates aside in certain seats in order to defeat the left-wing alliance. For any political party, that is a big step to make - country before party.
Reform have just outright rejected doing the same. If that position continues, then this whole exercise is futile.
A deal will mean give and take on both sides. I’ve been in business long enough to know that.
Our original offer was focused on policy, their response is about personality.
After all of the bad blood, if we focus on personality and ego, we will get nowhere. That much is obvious from the last seven days.
Our papers on economics, energy, deportations, policing and much more show exactly what can be delivered - properly considered policy must be central to everything.
The place to start this negotiation is on policy. Find common ground, sort out the clear differences, build on that and go from there.
Restore Britain remains open to good faith talks where both parties understand the brutal electoral reality we are facing.
🚨12 workers from Cameroon sponsored 180 dependents to come to Britain last year.
1029 Pakistani workers brought in 6155 dependents.
230 Nigerians brought in 1114.
257 Ghanaians brought in 2131.
2395 Indians brought in 10504 dependents.
The Health and Care visa program - introduced by the Tories - is an industrial scale scam on the British people.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Reform will NOT allow them to stay.
I am calling on Restore Britain, the Tories, independents, Northern Irish MPs and Reform to work together in Parliament to end Labour's disgraceful new Sudan/Eritrea 'refugee' scheme before it starts.
Enough.

The British people deserve to know the full truth.
Another day and another two invaders convicted of sex attacks on our people.
Bawan Harwe and Sharam Muhamadi trafficked 7 British children who were aged between 12 and 16, and sexually abused.
Following a four-week trial, Harwe, 28, and Muhamadi, 21, were found guilty of several offences committed against the girls, who were driven from Barnsley to Doncaster, between June and August 2024.
Muhamadi decided not to turn up at his trial, because unlike the English who throw cones, invaders are not instantly locked up for sex abuse of 7 children!
Disgusting scenes out of the French city of Saint-Etienne.
CCTV from inside St Charles Borromeo Cathedral shows a disabled elderly lady entering on Monday evening for mass, only to be followed in by an invader who attacks and robs her of a necklace.
