'The political landscape has changed since he was in Downing Street... It might have worked four years ago!' Political Commentator Duncan Barkes reacts to Boris Johnson's insistence that the best way to stop Nigel Farage's Reform Party is to ignore him. https://t.co/t48ggyRSP2
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed that his strategy of not mentioning his right-wing rival, Nigel Farage, helped keep Farage's Reform Party polling at zero percent. Johnson advised Conservative Party members to ignore Farage as a means to limit his political influence. This approach contrasts with the current political landscape, as some commentators note that the tactic might have been more effective four years ago when Johnson was last in Downing Street. Johnson's comments were highlighted in the Daily Telegraph, emphasizing his belief that avoiding direct engagement with Farage is the best way to prevent the Reform Party from gaining traction.
