Watch as Reform UK leader Richard Tice held a news conference ahead of the 2024 elections (3 January).

The political party, which currently holds no seats in parliament, gave some insight into their plans for the coming year in which a general election is expected to take place.

Mr Tice previously hinted that Nigel Farage may be making a return to politics by taking on the party’s leadership. He told the press that Nigel Farage was still “assessing” his political return but was “very confident” the party’s founder would play some role in the general election campaign.

Reform UK has recently seen a surge in the polls as support for Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party has decreased dramatically.

The party, founded by Mr Farage as the Brexit Party, changed their name to Reform UK in 2020 after the UK’s exit from the European Union was confirmed.
