Founded in 2021 as a relaunch of the Brexit Party, Reform UK stood neck and neck with the Conservatives throughout the general election campaign.
Nigel Farage’s party won several new seats in an election breakthrough that follows his shock decision to take over as leader, walking away with four MPs.
Reform faced pivotal change during their campaign with co-founder Mr Farage returning to front-line politics to lead a “political revolt” aimed at toppling the Tories after replacing Richard Tice, a former businessman and MEP who has led the party since 2021.
