Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has likened the Reform party, led by Nigel Farage, to the antagonists in the film Alien Vs Predator, describing them as a serious threat to Labour. Following significant local election gains, Streeting emphasized the need to recognize Reform as a formidable opponent, suggesting that either Reform or the Conservatives could challenge Labour in the next general election. He noted that while Reform’s rise appears to be more than a protest vote, they must clarify their policies to consolidate their support.
