Farage and Badenoch clash over Meloni's advice on right-wing unity

UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK's Nigel Farage are publicly feuding over claims about Italian PM Giorgia Meloni's advice. The Times reported Meloni cautioned Badenoch against allying with Farage, prompting Reform to accuse the Tories of peddling conspiracy theories. This reflects intra-right competition in the UK and Meloni's influence as a European conservative figurehead.
