Disruptor-in-Chief: 'Marmite' populist Farage seeks to 'bang another nail into conservatives coffin'
Arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage threw himself into the political fray again on Tuesday, as he launched his election campaign on a chilly overcast day in the English seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea. Farage was in full campaign mode, a day after he dealt a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his beleaguered Conservative party by announcing he will stand in the July 4 election. If UKIP's once fringe anti-EU stance influenced mainstream Tory policy over the years, Reform UK's very existence -- with Farage at the helm -- threatens to split the right-wing vote. With Farage throwing his hat in the race, upending the right-wing landscape and electorate, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Tim Bale, Author of "The Conservative Party After Brexit" and Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London.
