It’s been a pretty good year for Nigel Farage. At the beginning of 2024, he was out of politics and fresh out of the jungle, having returned from I’m A Celeb… with no imminent plans of a comeback. Now, fast forward 12 months, he is an MP, party leader and beating Keir Starmer as a more popular choice of PM. Oh, and his bestie is back in the White House too. It might be a difficult act to top all that in 2025.
Still, those eager beavers in Reform UK are nevertheless doing their damnedest to make life miserable for Kemi Badenoch and the Tories. Fresh from their Mayfair Xmas bash on Wednesday, staff have now pulled together a ‘live membership tracker’ to publicise their ever increasing number of card carrying activists.
Currently, Reform UK claim more than 118,000 members, having hit the six figure mark at the end of November. The Tories currently have 131,680 activists, based on turnout in the last leadership contest.
