Happy New Year! And it could prove to be a very happy new year for Nigel Farage and the Reform Party. They provided some of the stand-out political drama of 2024, with Lee Anderson’s defection and Farage’s return, before winning five seats at the general election (as well as a hefty chunk of the popular vote). They finished the year strong with a meeting with Elon Musk, where we understand that a possible donation was discussed. Farage also gave a memorable speech at The Spectator awards, warning that a ‘political revolution’ is coming. With the local elections coming up in 2025, could this be the year that Reform and Farage crystallise into a real political threat?
James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Gawain Towler, former Reform UK strategist.
Produced by Natasha Feroze and Oscar Edmondson.
