‘Anything but Labor’: Coalition eyes common ground with Hanson’s One Nation

Shadow Cabinet Secretary Zoe McKenzie claims One Nation and the Coalition share a common goal of removing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Labor from power. “I’ve heard her [Hanson] say equally as often that she is determined to get rid of Labor,” Ms McKenzie told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “She doesn’t want to see a Jacinta Allan government in Victoria, and she doesn’t want to see an Anthony Albanese government in Canberra. “I think the thing we saw in Nepean was roughly 65 per cent of people were taking anything but Labor in terms of their how-to-vote cards. “That’s not what they want in charge of the state of Victoria and the nation, and that is something we can work with.”

Top Tory slams Reform’s ‘unfunded commitments and gimmicks’ after Kemi Badenoch ruled out pact in wake of Makerfield by-election

Sir Mel Stride has hit out at Reform UK, accusing Nigel Farage’s party of “unfunded commitments and gimmicks”.The Shadow Chancellor was speaking to GB News after Tory leader Kemi Badenoch ruled out a pact with Reform in the wake of the Makerfield by-election. Andy Burnham stormed to victory in the Manchester seat, with the Conservatives finishing a distant fourth on two per cent. “The battle for the next Prime Minister won’t involve Kemi Badenoch at this stage. According to the polling, it's going to be a straight race between Andy Burnham and Nigel Farage,” Camilla Tominey said. “No, not at all. Nobody can foresee what's going to happen in three years' time in a general election,” Sir Mel insisted.“Kemi has a very clear direction for our party. It is a very sensible direction. “Unlike reform, we will go out there and spray around all sorts of unfunded commitments and gimmicks left, right and centre.“We have properly and carefully thought through policies that are all funded and will be good for the economy,” the Shadow Chancellor added.
