She does allude to it when mentioning Balls - The Tories and Reform could form an official electoral pact that sees candidates able to be part of both, some Labour MPs are also members/MPs of the Co-operative party, which sits entirely as part of Labour but does have its own 'parliamentary group':

Alternatively she might want to be radical enough to propose a merger between the two, such as the one which saw the Tories officially become the "Conservative and Unionist Party"

Ultimately though nobody serious is listening to Jenkyn, she's one of the mad idiots affected by 'Long Boris' who has been openly calling for Sunak's head for 6 months. She wants hard-Right Reform style 'governing' but understands that it needs the Conservative name to fundraise/gain traction in the UK's election system, so will advocate for any style of Reform takeover of the Tories.

I thought it might have been her who raised the prospect of Farage being given a peerage a few years back to be catapulted into the Lords as a Tory and being fast-tracked to the leadership, but just checked and it was Dehenna Davison.
 
….i think Andy Street is right with his post-election summary. Much like Labour after Corbyn, the Conservatives can move further to the right and become unelectable or move back into the centre ground.

It looks like they are going more extreme and into the political wilderness.
I’m not sure it’s so much their lurch further right that is losing them votes. Outright corruption and incompetence has done for them.

Voting for an Asian PM that ‘backstabbed’ the golden boy is too much for some people as well.

Maybe some Tories have lost the stomach for it all but they still would have voted for Johnson previously.
