By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor PUBLISHED: 03:36 EST, 30 September 2013 | UPDATED: 10:25 EST, 30 September 2013 More than 20 Tory MPs have begun talks with UKIP about forming a pact ahead of the 2015 general election, Nigel Farage claimed today. Arriving at the Conservative conference at the centre of a media storm, Mr Farage urged Tory supporters to back UKIP in next year's European Parliament elections to trigger an earthquake in British politics. But the idea of local agreements was rejected by George Osborne who insisted anyone caught doing deals with rival parties would not be allowed to stand on a Tory ticket.
