Nigel Farage said Robert Jenrick is Reform UK’s pick for Chancellor of the Exchequer should his poll-leading party win the next general election.

Unveiling appointments to his party’s so-called shadow cabinet, Farage also named Deputy Leader Richard Tice to head up a portfolio covering business, trade and energy and placed his policy chief, Zia Yusuf, in charge of the home affairs brief, which includes policy on migration, the issue that’s helped fuel Reform’s popularity.
