Nigel Farage has threatened to take Reform UK's fight to Kemi Badenoch by making her constituency a "target" at the next General Election.
Speaking at the first of Reform's regional conferences in 2025 in Leicester on Friday, Farage took a series of swipes at the Conservative leader - pouring fuel on the fire of a bitter Boxing Day dispute over his party's membership.
Badenoch had claimed that Reform UK's membership ticker was "fake" in a series of social media posts on December 26.
The Tory leader had taken to X to accuse Reform of "manipulating" its members in an online 'ticker', which showed the party had surged to overtake the Conservatives.
In Leicester, Farage took a series of jabs at Badenoch's "misspellings" and "ranting conspiracy theories" in her Boxing Day tirade.
But he cast aside rumours of taking her to court, saying: "You need to prove harm... She hasn't harmed us, she's given us tens of thousands more members!"
Farage also pointed to the fact Reform UK's next regional conference - tomorrow - is set to sit inside Badenoch's North West Essex constituency - and has promised a large-scale party event in her seat towards the end of January.
