Reform and the Conservatives will have to come to some sort of arrangement if neither can come out on top according to a top Conservative peer.
Lord Frost, the former Conservative minister who negotiated Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, also said that Tory and Reform politicians should stop trying to “rubbish” each other in public.
The comments from Lord Frost, the former Brexit negotiator, come after former Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman suggested that the Tories and Reform UK had to unite to defeat Labour.
Frost told today’s Chopper’s Political Podcast that the two parties had to agree on a deal to work together before the election if neither came out on top.

He said: “No, I don’t think it is inevitable. I think it’s possible that one or other party could come out on top and get a decisive lead, and then politics has to accommodate that.
“If it doesn’t happen, then there’s got to be some sort of arrangement or whatever, because we can’t allow Labour to win again on a third of the vote.”
Frost urged Reform and Tory MPs to stop publicly attacking each other.
He said: “I personally don’t think it’s right for Conservatives to rubbish Reform figures, or even more so, people who voted for Reform.
“And I don’t think it’s particularly wise for Reform to do that either. We need to be building agreement and understanding between each other, not, you know, digging the trench even deeper.”
