The upstart Reform UK party has emerged as a serious contender in British politics. The right-wing populist movement is threatening to overtake the ruling Labour Party in the polls and its leader, Nigel Farage,

Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson are among three Reform MPs accused of profiting from “spreading hateful rhetoric” after it emerged they’ve made thousands of pounds from posting on Elon Musk’s X.

The crowd seemed to be having fun, even though it is plain some of those gathered there have been drawn in because they are deeply disgruntled with the status quo in the UK. A newly joined party member said he was there because Farage "is a breath of fresh air" and current politicians were failing to give younger generations a chance to get on.

Mr Musk’s allyship with Mr Farage would seem like a natural fit, given that the Reform leader’s relationship with Mr Trump goes back much further. The pair first met in 2016, shortly after the president-elect’s first election victory, and they are thought to have remained allies since.

Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK is now just a point behind Britain’s incumbent Labour Party, according to a new poll.

Nigel Farage has celebrated Reform UK hitting 180,000 members. The jubilant Reform leader shared a picture on social media holding a dartboard registering the maximum 180 score. The milestone came as Reform held its North West England conference in Chester on Saturday.

Donald Trump's billionaire ally has said Nigel Farage should no longer lead Reform UK. Here is everything the pair have said about each other so far.

Elon Musk has said Reform UK needs a new leader because Nigel Farage “doesn’t have what it takes”. The tech billionaire’s comments came just hours after Farage described him as “a hero”. His latest intervention on UK politics casts serious doubt on claims he was prepared to make a substantial donation to Reform.
