Farage’s Reform Overtakes Labour as Largest UK Party by Members

Reform UK has surpassed Labour to become Britain’s largest party by membership, in the latest illustration of how its leader, Nigel Farage, is upending the country’s political landscape.

The upstart populist party has almost 270,000 members, a real-time tracker on its website showed on Friday. While that’s short of the 333,000 that Labour disclosed having this time last year, leaked figures reported by the Times newspaper show the governing party’s membership has plunged below 250,000 amid a slump in the polls by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
