Nigel Farage has told pals he has ‘one last shot’ to return to frontline politics

NIGEL Farage has told pals he has “one last shot” to return to frontline politics.

And they think he is plotting a comeback in January — after ramping up support in I’m A Celebrity.

The Brexiteer could head up the Reform UK party led by his pal Richard Tice.

Insiders suspect Tice would step aside.

But some Tories have been trying to lure Mr Farage over to their camp.

A close ally of Nigel said: “He’s told me he thinks he has one more shot at ­frontline politics.

“The fury over immigration and sacking of Suella Braverman give him political space to come back.”

One senior Tory said: “Some of us are braced for Nigel to make a comeback. He’s in the jungle, raising his profile and growing in popularity.

“Lots of my constituents already really like him and fundamentally agree with what he says on immigration.

“The Conservatives must own that space and not shut people like him out as he resonates so much with the British public.

“Reform UK were key to us losing recent byelections. And now Nigel could cost us even more seats at the next election.”
