Reform UK is a right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom. It has five members of Parliament in the House of Commons, one member of the House of Lords, two members of the London Assembly, one member of the Senedd, one member of the Scottish Parliament and one police and crime commissioner. It also controls twelve local councils. It is right-wing and to the right of the Conservative Party. Nigel Farage has been Leader of Reform UK since June 2024.
Co-founded by Farage and Catherine Blaiklock in 2018 as the Brexit Party, advocating a no-deal Brexit, it won the most seats at the 2019 European Parliament election in the UK, but won no seats at the 2019 general election. The UK withdrew from the European Union in January 2020, and later in the same year the COVID-19 pandemic began in the UK. The Conservative government imposed a series of national lockdowns and Farage focused on anti-lockdown campaigning. The party was renamed Reform UK in January 2021. Farage stepped down as leader in March 2021 and was succeeded by Richard Tice.
