Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has warned against “splitters” driving a wedge between the populist right in Britain over Tommy Robinson. His intervention follows Elon Musk, who previously backed Reform and met with party leader Nigel Farage at Mar-a-Lago, calling for the Brexiteer to be ousted over his refusal to support Tommy Robinson.
“I’m friends with both of those men; I have been for a long time. I talk to them both very frankly about it, and I’ve fallen out with both of them about talking to the other one,” Kassam said on The Charlie Kirk Show.
“But what I say is this: the people who have been critical of Nigel over the last couple of days because he doesn’t want to be allied with Tommy Robinson… This is not the time to be watching a party, the only political movement that could surge and replace the Tories and Labour, and trying to drive a wedge through the political right,” he stressed.
“The people doing that, I regard as splitters, I regard it as contrary to the greater cause, and I just think, this is a fight that the establishment, the EU, Davos, and the left, absolutely love, and we just all need to pack it in.”
Reform established a parliamentary beachhead in Britain’s July 2024 snap election, and polls now show it tying and occasionally outpacing the incumbent Labour Party and the Conservatives (Tories), who governed from 2010 to mid-2024.
Multiple high-profile Conservatives are defecting to the insurgent party, which is more authentic to conservative principles.
