Reform UK Lures 29 Defecting Councilors as Farage Gains Ground

Nigel Farage unveiled 29 new councilors — including more than a dozen Conservative defectors — who have joined Reform UK, as a new survey highlighted how his party is gaining traction among Britain’s voters.

With less than 7 weeks to go until a round of local elections, Farage presented his new recruits in a press conference at a London private members’ club on Monday. “We are growing. We are building. We are deepening. We are broadening, we are strengthening,” he said.
