The Tories are like what the Republican Party would be had there been no Trump and no MAGA. In other words, it is a weak, feckless, globalist party that is part of the Establishment - a pretend opposition only. It needs to be blown up. Many Conservatives in Britain were pushing for the Tories to get ZERO seats. They wanted a total wipeout so they could build a true Conservative party from the ground up.
That is very likely what Reform will be. The Tories proved themselves unfit for Britain and unwilling to change. Thus, they must go.
