Pro-Brexit party 'Reform UK' on the rise after Keir Starmer's reshuffle
The political pitch sounded familiar: The country is in crisis. The government must slash immigration, crack down on crime, ditch green energy targets and reopen factories to “make Britain great again.” The words of Nigel Farage to his Reform UK party’s two-day annual convention that ended Saturday echoed themes that propelled U.S. President Donald Trump back to the White House. Farage, the veteran hard-right politician, hopes a similar strategy can make him prime minister – a once-unthinkable idea that allies and opponents alike are taking seriously. Analysis by Sunder Katwala, director of the British future think tank in London.
