It'll be "unite the right and win". When things looked bleak for Cameron, Toby Young hilariously suggested that UKIP do a deal with the Tories whereby the Tories had a free run in all their southern seats, and UKIP was allowed to... come second in lots of Labour seats in the north. Reform and their supporters are likely to be a bit more assertive than that.
