Nigel Farage has hit out at the Conservative Party saying they are "toast" at the next election.
Responding to an article from The Sun claiming the party faces "extinction" if Farage makes a comeback, he wrote on social media platform X: "Regardless of what I decide to do next, the Conservatives are toast anyway."
Speculation about his possible return to the party has been rising as the election draws closer. The GB News presenter recently slammed both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer as "boring" ahead of the showdown.
His conclusion came after making an effort to tune into Rishi Sunak's big electioneering speech yesterday, but he complained it was so boring that after 15 minutes he began "to nod off".
Farage issued a stark warning about the forthcoming election during his GB News show last night.

Farage said: "So a big speech this morning from Rishi Sunak, a long speech from Rishi Sunak. I thought, you know what, I'm going to sit down. I'm going to watch all of this.
"Whatever the content of the speech, and the riposte that we got from Keir Starmer, I have to say, in terms of delivery, after about 15 to 20 minutes, I was beginning to nod off. There was no energy, there was no spark, there was no fizz. Yet the arguments he was making were fundamentally important arguments.
"He's saying the world is a less safe place than it's been at any moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis, and that he is the right man to lead the country. Well, I don't know in terms of style, I can't imagine, perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps I'm being completely unfair.
"I can't imagine we've ever had two leaders going head to head for who's going to be the next prime minister, who are, frankly, so boring. I think we can predict a very, very low turnout".

Last night a new JL Partners poll found that Reform UK would surge a whopping eight points if Farage returned to lead the party.
He would immediately strip both the Tories and Labour of 4 percent each, with polling firm director Scarlett Maguire warning it would be a "knockout blow" for the Conservatives.
