"THEY ARE NOT FIT TO GOVERN!'

NIGEL Farage vowed to save Britain from Labour chaos after Angela Rayner resigned yesterday.

Reform UK's boss urged voters to kick Sir Keir Starmer's party out of No10, claiming: “They’re not fit to govern.”

His stark warning came after the Prime Minister was forced into a desperate reshuffle when Ms Rayner quit as his deputy and Housing Secretary after she underpaid tax.

The Cabinet shakeup, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy becoming Deputy PM, came days after Sir Keir tried to launch a Labour “Phase 2” following a torrid summer and dire opinion polls.

In a tub-thumping speech at his party’s annual conference, Mr Farage, left, claimed that Reform is on course to win a general election in two years.

He said a party formed by Jeremy Corbyn could split Labour and hasten the Government's end.

Twisting the knife, following Ms Rayner's humiliating exit, he said Labour is in "deep crisis" Mr Farage told Reform members: "I think there is every chance now of a General Election happening in 2027 and we must be ready for that moment." Reform is looking to turn a huge opinion poll lead into a majority Government at Westminster and move into Downing Street.

Mr Farage told his followers: "Not only have they [Labour] fallen into deep unpopularity...but it has become clear to all of us that it is a Cabinet of wholly unqualified people to run our country.

imageThey are not fit to govern." His speech in Birmingham was brought forward by three hours following news of Ms Rayner's departure. In another surprise, Mr Farage broke off to introduce Nadine Dorries who had defected to Reform on Thursday.
