Mr Tice predicts a 'realignment' of the right at the election in protest at the prime minister's policies of 'higher taxes' and 'wasteful government spending'.
Reform Party leader Richard Tice has branded Rishi Sunak a 'socialist' as he predicted a 'realignment' of the right at the next general election. Mr Tice said Mr Sunak is 'not a real Conservative' and instead argued the Tories are made up of 'social democrats' and 'socialists' because of 'high taxes' and government spending.
' Mr Tice, who took over from Nigel Farage as the head of Reform - formerly known as the Brexit Party - in 2021, has vowed to 'punish' the Tories at the ballot box with threats of courting its voters and even some of its MPs. Last month his party bagged the defection of Lee Anderson, the MP for Ashfield who served as a vice chair of the Tory Party, and has hinted more could be persuaded to join the party because of their dissatisfaction with the direction of the Conservatives.
