His comments come during discussions of potential alliances between Conservatives and Reform UK in the lead-up to local elections.

Appearing on Sky News’s Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Mr Griffith was questioned about the Conservative Party’s stance on potential Conservative-Reform coalitions running local councils.

While not explicitly rejecting the possibility of such coalitions, Mr Griffith criticised the Liberal Democrats’ agenda. He highlighted their approach to food choices, framing their encouragement of veganism as an example of their extreme policies.
