For Ms Widdecombe, who joined up with Mr Farage in Reform UK’s previous incarnation as the Brexit Party, with the politician at the helm the party could make it to Parliament.
Speaking to GB News, Ms Widdecombe said: “Well, it can be done, if you just look at our place in the polls. At the beginning of the year, we only had a few percent.
“Now we’re regularly getting double figures, one poll even had as high as 12 percent.
“Obviously people are turning to us, because they don’t like what the two major parties are offering and Nigel is charismatic and people follow him, as was proven with those Brexit European elections.”
The former Home Secretary said supporters “will follow him as long as Reform continues to do what Reform’s set out to do, which is to talk common sense”.
She also noted on Patrick Christys Tonight show that currently there was “no common sense coming out of the Tories at the moment… and there’s none from Labour”.
The politician concluded: “People may decide this is the moment.
“As I’ve said to everybody, if you want more of the same, vote for more of the same. If you want real change, real common sense, vote Reform.”
It comes as Natwest’s private bank Coutts was told to improve its communications with customers about account closures after the “debanking” scandal that involved Mr Farage.
A review was conducted by an independent commission of the scandal earlier this year, which saw the company’s chief executive Dame Alison Rose lose her job.
Coutts cut ties with Mr Farage in a decision that was considered purely commercial.
However, the politician was able to prove that in fact, they wanted to jettison him due to his politics being “at odds with [its] position as an inclusive organisation”.
