Farage predicts 2027 general election in warning over Labour ‘rift’
‘Every chance of a general election happening in 2027,’ Farage says
- Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, predicted a general election in 2027 during his party conference in Birmingham.
- His remarks came shortly after Angela Rayner resigned as Deputy Prime Minister on Friday, 5 September.
- Farage claimed there is a "big rift" within the Labour party.
- He suggested some Labour MPs might believe they have a better chance of re-election under a "Jeremy Corbyn sectarian ticket" than under Sir Keir Starmer.
- Rayner resigned after an ethics adviser found she breached the ministerial code by underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove, East Sussex.
