‘Stop calling us Conservative Party’ says Nigel Farage wearing blue dress and Margaret Thatcher wig

Nigel Farage has denied Reform UK is becoming a carbon copy of the Conservative Party, though admitted it was perhaps the wrong day to cosplay as Margaret Thatcher.

It comes after former Home Secretary Suella Braverman became the latest Tory to defect to Reform UK, with Farage now slightly regretting wearing the blue dress and Margaret Thatcher wig.

“We’re nothing like the Conservative Party,” said Farage dressed as Thatcher, doing his best impression of Norman Bates. 

“I know my current appearance probably contradicts that statement, but loads of people cosplay as their favourite superheroes so I don’t see why I can’t cosplay as one of my favourite politicians. It’s only a bit of fun for heaven’s sake. 

“Okay, Lee Anderson’s Geoffrey Howe glasses and Zia Yusuf’s Nigel Lawson wig might not be the greatest looks either. That doesn’t mean we’re transforming into the Conservative Party though.

“I mean, it’s not like we have Nadine Dorries, Robert Jenrick, Nadhim Zahawi, Andrew Rosindell, Suella Braverman, Jonathan Gullis and Danny Kruger in our ranks. Then you might have a point.

“Oh, and I know some people are urging me to backtrack on all these defections, but there’s no way I’m reversing my decision now. What’s done is done.

“The lady’s not for turning.”
