Robert Jenrick has hinted at a Tory-Reform pact to ensure that Conservatives and Reform UK are no longer competing with one another for votes at the next election, according to a leaked recording.
In the audio obtained by Sky News, the shadow Justice Secretary can be heard telling the students at the UCL Conservative association dinner in late March that he is still working hard to defeat Reform.
He says it would be a nightmare scenario if Keir Starmer is reelected as a result of the two parties being disunited but has denied he is encouraging a pact with Reform.

Morning and welcome to The i Paper live blog.
Robert Jenrick has hinted at a Tory-Reform pact to ensure that Conservatives and Reform UK are no longer competing with one another for votes at the next election, according to a leaked recording.
In the audio obtained by Sky News, the Shadow Justice Secretary can be heard telling the students at the UCL Conservative association dinner in late March that he is still working hard to defeat Reform.
He says it would be a nightmare scenario if Keir Starmer is reelected as a result of the two parties being disunited but has denied he is encouraging a pact with Reform.
Jenrick can be heard saying: “[Reform UK] continues to do well in the polls. And my worry is that they become a kind of permanent or semi-permanent fixture on the British political scene. And if that is the case, and I say, I am trying to do everything I can to stop that being the case, then life becomes a lot harder for us, because the right is not united.
“And then you head towards the general election, where the nightmare scenario is that Keir Starmer sails in through the middle as a result of the two parties being disunited. I don’t know about you, but I’m not prepared for that to happen.
“I want the fight to be united. And so, one way or another, I’m determined to do that and to bring this coalition together and make sure we unite as a nation as well.”
