During the fiery interview, Susanna was keen to understand if Reform UK’s goal was to “destroy the Conservatives” following Labour’s impressive general election victory.

Reflecting on the election results, Susanna said: “Your party got a huge number of votes – four million across the board and just five MPs as a result. But you were responsible for getting rid of a huge number of Conservative MPs and candidates.”

Tice responded with a sarcastic “Oh that’s a shame…” to which Reid retorted: “Well you say that kind of sarcastically but what this resulted in is a Labour government, but you would have thought ideologically you were closer to the Tories.”, reports the Mirror.

He argued that the Tories had “betrayed” the country on issues like Brexit, immigration, and taxation, claiming there was “no difference” between the two parties.

Reid then challenged the politician: “Was your aim to destroy the Conservatives because you took a very different tack in this election compared to the last general election? “.

A third noted: “This was class Reid balls it right up.” A fourth fumed: “Joke of an interview, just over speaking and not letting the man speak they invited on…. they are meant to be impartial but it’s so obvious they are not.”

While Reform took 14 per cent of the popular vote, the right-wing party has just five seats of the 650 in Westminster. This is because the party came second in 98 seats under the First Past the Post system.
