What is actually being alleged: A friend told The Sunday Express that two of Farage’s family members had their accounts frozen because of their association with him. GB News said it had contacted Reform UK to verify the claim. The Daily Mail reported the same detail two days earlier, attributing it to allies and adding that Farage was “furious” about the effect of his career on his family. Farage went further in his own words. Speaking this weekend, he said the impact on rela

In July 2026 Andy Burnham became Prime Minister after Keir Starmer resigned as Labour leader, creating a “Burnham bounce” that pushed Reform UK into second place in the polls after a long spell at the top. The

Nigel Farage tells Jeremy Kyle that Andy Burnham’s Real Test Is on the Economy On TalkTV with Jeremy Kyle the Reform leader said the economy was the number one issue: “Can Andy Burnham turn around the economy? Because that’s the real question, and I don’t see it. I don’t see it. I don’t think turning around the economy would be easy for anybody. There is going to be a very big change of culture that is needed. I mean, you know, when one in seven are going on antidepressants,

Reform UK secured a majority on the council in the 7 May 2026 local elections, winning 53 of 78 seats and ending 25 years of Conservative control. Peter Harris became leader, with Russell Quirk as deputy.

The Council claims and what the record shows Several items on the graphic align with pu

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has regained his seat as MP for Clacton after winning a highly unusual by-election he forced by resigning last month. He secured 22,239 votes (63.34%) on a turnout of 44.37%, defeating a field of 33 mostly independent and novelty candidates. His nearest rival, the satirical candidate Count Binface, took second place with 9,455 votes (26.93%) — a record performance for the comedian, whose real name is Jonathan Harvey and who campaigns in a trash-c

Farage told the Sun’s political editor Jack Elsom that Zia Yusuf would get a dressing down for referring to former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace as a “traitor” in his X posts last night: “That is too strong language. I shall give him a ticking off… I’ll speak to him today, but it’s over the top.”

So whats the plan then? The core announcement at the 11am press conference with Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf focuses on these main points: Deport all foreign national offenders (over 10,000 currently in British jails). Send them back to their home countries where possible. If those countries refuse, transfer them to serve the rest of their sentences in third-country prisons (explicitly mentioning places like El Salvador and Kosovo). Reform says Farage has already opened talks w

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has initiated discussions with the government of El Salvador about deporting every foreign national currently held in British prisons to serve their sentences in the Central American country’s facilities, according to an exclusive report.

The talks centre on renting prison capacity so that foreign off

Voters in the Clacton constituency head to the polls on Thursday 13 August 2026 in a highly unusual parliamentary by-election. The contest was triggered by the resignation of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage as the local MP earlier in July. Farage stepped down amid parliamentary scrutiny of his finances but is standing again to seek a fresh mandate from constituents. What makes this race stand out is the sheer number of candidates. Tendring District Council confirmed a record-br

As it turns out, Nigel Farage might have wasted most of his summer by spending it fighting with a man wearing a bin on his bonce. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was reportedly unaware that a parliamentary standards investigation into an undeclared £5 million gift would resume if he won back his seat in the forthcoming Clacton by-election, according to a senior source within his party. The claim, first reported by The Times and detailed in The London Economic on 8 August 2026,

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has confirmed he is keeping an open mind about a potential political arrangement with Rupert Lowe and the Restore Britain party, following a public offer from the breakaway group’s leader.

I
