Nigel Farage has launched a fresh attack on Kemi Badenoch, branding her New Year's message "embarrassing" and "so low grade it's unbelievable".
The Reform UK leader made the remarks during an interview with GB News, as he reflected on the political landscape heading into 2025.
Farage suggested he appeared "rather more able" than both Badenoch and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to "an awful lot of people".
Reacting to Badenoch's New Year's message to Conservative supporters, Farage jibed: "Have you seen her New Year's message? It's embarrassing. It's so low grade it's unbelievable."
When asked by GB News host Ben Leo if he has received an apology from Badenoch, Farage revealed: "No apology has been forthcoming, and therefore I will be giving a response on Friday.
"She won't like it, she really, really won't like it - but she could still apologise."
In his GB News appearance, Farage also issued a bold prediction about Reform UK's political prospects.
"You wait - give it two weeks and see where we are in the opinion polls, and the establishment are going to be shocked," he declared.
The Reform UK leader expressed confidence that "massive historical change is coming to Britain" and emphasised that it was "coming quickly".

He promised to campaign for "proper border controls" and described the ongoing migrant crisis as an "outrage".
"There's a feeling amongst my group of family and friends that 2025 marks a turning point where a really big change, a positive change, is coming," Farage said.
He credited his appearance on I'm A Celebrity for shifting public perceptions, noting: "The jungle made a huge difference because I was in there for 24 days, you can't hide."
Farage reflected on his evolving political persona, drawing a distinction between his past and present approach.
"I was a warrior, I was a street fighter, my whole political career was based on that - I'm now in a different place," he told GB News.
He emphasised his current focus on "family, community and country," describing these as the values that matter most to the population.
"I'm not now fighting the establishment to get us to leave the European Union, I'm trying to replace the establishment," Farage declared.
He acknowledged that some might consider his ambitions unrealistic, adding: "Historically, people will say that I'm mad. But you know what? Something is happening out there."
