Kemi Badenoch is unlikely to apologise for claiming that Reform UK’s membership figures have been “fake”, shadow house secretary Chris Philp has mentioned.

The Conservative chief sparred with Nigel Farage final month when the Reform chief mentioned his social gathering now had extra members than the Tories and was “the real opposition” to Labour.

On the time, a digital counter on the social gathering’s web site mentioned the social gathering had 131,680 members – the quantity the Conservative Celebration declared earlier than its management election within the autumn – simply earlier than noon on Boxing Day.

The quantity on its web site now stands at greater than 173,000.

Ms Badenoch, who changed Rishi Sunak as Tory chief final November, instantly disputed the figures final month, posting on X: “Manipulating your own supporters at Xmas eh, Nigel?. It’s not real. It’s a fake… [the website has been] coded to tick up automatically.”

He added: “Let me let me simply be clear about a number of the most essential information.

“Since the general election, there have been, I think, 175 council by-elections – we have won seven times more of those than Reform. We’ve won about 50. They’ve only won I think seven. We’re winning seats from Labour who are losing seats to us.”

Richard Tice, the deputy chief of Reform, later instructed Sunday Morning with Trevor Philips his social gathering was unlikely to pursue authorized motion towards Ms Badenoch.

“The thing about a legal action is you have to prove harm,” he defined.

“The truth is that Kemi Badenoch has helped us, so we’re sort of thanking her.”

He added: “But what we’d like is an apology – I think Chris Philp has just confirmed we’re not going to get an apology.”

He mentioned that in absence of an apology, “we’re going to instead make her constituency a key target seat for Reform at the next general election”.

“We think that might focus the mind of the leader of the opposition, actually, on what really matters,” he added.

Mr Philp was additionally questioned about phrases utilized by Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary who misplaced the Tory management to Ms Badenoch.

Mr Jenrick posted on X: “To maintain order in a multicultural Britain, the state thought-about it vital to use the legislation selectively.

“For decades the most appalling crimes from predominantly British Pakistani men were legalised and actively covered up to prevent disorder.”

Requested whether or not he believed that the earlier Tory authorities “covered up scandals”, Mr Philp mentioned: “I don’t suppose the federal government lined up the scandal, however I feel there have been particular person native authorities who did.

“They have been principally, by the best way, Labour-controlled native authorities in locations like Oldham.

“And we’ve seen examples of particular person police forces not investigating very critical experiences of felony exercise, the gang rape of younger ladies, as a result of they have been frightened about group tensions.

“All of that was completely wrong and morally wrong, morally bankrupt.”

Pressed on whether or not he would use the identical language as Mr Jenrick – who claimed the grooming scandal occurred as a result of Britain had a coverage of “importing hundreds of thousands of people from alien cultures” – Mr Philp replied: “He will choose his words. I’ll choose mine. I haven’t used those words.”
