Reform UK is a right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom. Nigel Farage has been Leader of Reform UK since 2024. It has four members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons, one member of the London Assembly, one member of the Senedd and one Police and crime commissioner. The party also controls twelve local councils. 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 (EU) in January 2020. Since 2022, the party has campaigned on a broader platform, pledging to limit immigration, reduce taxation and opposing net-zero emissions. The party is considered to sit on the right-wing of the political spectrum, generally to the right of the Conservatives.
