Lord Frost seemingly welcomed GB News presenter Nigel Farage into the Conservative brand, saying he is a “natural” part of the movement.
His endorsement comes amid growing speculation over Farage’s political allegiance, with the former Brexit Party leader choosing to attend the Conservative Party Conference this year for the first time in 30 years.
Asked whether Rishi Sunak should start listening to Farage, given his significant popularity, the former Brexit negotiator told GB News: “Well, I think what Nigel taps into is that. I mean people could see in many ways he is a conservative.
“Obviously he believes in many of the things I believe in – free markets, low immigration, all these kinds of things and people can see that.
“So he’s a natural part of the right movement in this country, which unfortunately has got divided between different parties.
“But, but I personally think the more people who are out there arguing for what I think, the better things are.”
Speaking at the Conservative Party Conference in October, Sunak suggested he would welcome Nigel Farage back into the Party.
The PM told GB News the Tory Party is a “broad church”, adding that he “welcomes lots of people who want to subscribe to our ideals”.
Lord Frost’s interview with GB News also saw him dismantle Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for an EU pact on migration, outlining some of the major trade offs the party would have to make in order to get the deal over the line.
“So I keep asking Labour what are you prepared to give up to get these things? And they don’t have an answer.”
Starmer has also promised to secure a ‘better’ version of the UK’s post-Brexit trade agreement with the EU when it comes up for renegotiation in 2025.
But Frost warned that such a move could mean accepting EU laws in some areas.
