Politics nigel farage Nigel Farage’s claim of a 45 per cent chance of becoming PM caused a predictable influx of scepticism – 15 favourite reactions Oonagh Keating . Updated April 24th, 2025 Share Tweet The local elections on May 1 look set to be a test for Labour and the Conservatives, with Reform UK pulling out all the stops to try and secure control of as many councils as they can. It’s far from a foregone conclusion.

There were 2 council by-elections yesterday Reform UK won 0. That’s 236 council by-elections since the General Election, just 14 seats won for Reform UK. pic.

The Telegraph spoke to Farage as he strode the mean streets of Hemel Hempstead with a battery of large security guards – presumably to provide a human shield against milk shakes.

He told them he has a 45% chance of becoming prime minister. The Telegraph joins Reform leader for his busiest day of local campaigning across five stop-offs in traditional Conservative strongholds Read the full article below ⬇️ https://t.co/6Kbfkbifvx pic.

twitter.com/4JXuqjw62A — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) April 23, 2025 With four MPs and a split in public loyalties between Farage and currently suspended former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe, we’re not sure who he’s trying to fool – the Telegraph, the voters, or himself. He certainly wasn’t fooling any of these people.

Well, as long as that's what he thinks. Good ole, Nige. He's been saying the same old shit for fifteen years.

Somehow, people still believe him. The absolute master of hubris with zero shame and almost as few MPs. — Don McGowan (@donmcgowan) April 23, 2025 5.
