The Conservatives and Reform UK should consider a ‘non-aggression pact’ to oust Labour at the next general election, it was claimed last night.
Sources within Reform told The Mail on Sunday that the two parties need to start discussing a deal to boost their chances of defeating Sir Keir Starmer.
They said the two parties should copy an alleged private agreement between Labour and the Lib Dems at the General Election in July to back off from campaigning in a constituency if the other was more likely to defeat a sitting Tory MP.Â

One Reform source said: ‘We should be talking about a non-aggression pact between us and the Tories to maximise our chances of kicking out Labour MPs.’
It was also suggested that of the four Tory leadership candidates, Robert Jenrick was the most likely to come to an agreement with Nigel Farage’s party.
However, that was denied by a source close to Mr Jenrick’s campaign, while a Reform spokesman insisted it ‘will not be making any electoral pacts’.
