Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been left humiliated today after his party was branded a “complete disaster” and it was stated that Reform and the Tories should form a coalition to prevent Labour having a second term in power.
Appearing on GB News on Sunday, 4th May, former Conservative Member of the European Parliament, David Campbell-Bannerman was debating whether or not the Tories and Reform should make a pact to oust their rivals.
He said: “I mean, to be honest, the way I look at is, what’s the benefit for the country? What we all agree Reform in Conservatives agree is that we cannot have a second Labour Government. I mean they’re a complete disaster.”

Campbell-Bannerman’s comments come after last week’s humiliating election results, which saw Nigel Farage
A senior Labour MP has warned that under Sir Keir, the party has lost its connection to its working-class base. Dan Carden, the MP for Liverpool Walton, said: “People have had enough.” Another MP said Sir Keir’s Winter Fuel cut is Labour’s “Poll Tax problem”.
Labour MPs have warned Sir Keir that the party was heading for oblivion if he did not regain the “trust of the people”.
In an article for The Mail on Sunday, Mr Carden wrote: “It was the working class that turned its back on Labour last Thursday.
“They understand that the present system is not working in their interests. People feel abandoned? They look at Westminster and see strangers in charge.”

It comes as a poll finds that most voters expect Mr Farage to become the next Prime Minister.
According to the survey by Find Out Now, 63% of people think that Mr Farage will win the keys to No10 at the next election – more than double the 31% who back Sir Keir, and over ten times the 6% who think Tory leader Kemi Badenoch will turn around her party’s fortunes.
Labour backbenchers say that the party’s loss of connection to its blue-collar base is being exacerbated by a lack of decisive leadership.
