Mercer warns would-be Reform voters not to give Starmer ‘unchecked’ power
Sir Keir Starmer could be given “unchecked” power as prime minister if Reform UK picks up voters from the Tories, veterans minister Johnny Mercer said.
In the latest sign that the Tories are now fighting to maintain as many MPs as possible as an opposition party, Mr Mercer said “if you vote Reform, you’re going to get a Labour government”.
The Tory strategy of warning voters that backing Nigel Farage’s party could result in a Labour landslide has intensified, after an opinion poll put Reform ahead of the Conservatives.
