Reform UK overtakes Conservative membership - Nigel Farage calls it 'historic', Kemi Badenoch says numbers are 'fake'
- Reform UK and Nigel Farage have been involved in a series of furious exchanges online with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.
Reform UK has surpassed the Conservative Party in membership numbers, with 30,000 members compared to the Conservatives' 17,300, as reported by Sky News. Nigel Farage, honorary president of Reform UK, described this shift as "historic," suggesting it reflects a significant change in British politics. However, Kemi Badenoch, the Business Secretary, dismissed these figures as "fake," arguing that the Conservative Party's membership is much larger when including those who have not renewed their membership but are still considered part of the party. This development comes amidst discussions on the political landscape, with Farage hinting at a potential return to frontline politics, while Badenoch criticized Reform UK's policies and leadership.
