Farage Asserts Reform UK Growth Mirrors Trump's Victory

Nigel Farage has drawn parallels between the rise of Reform UK and Donald Trump's electoral victory, asserting that Trump's success serves as inspiration for his party. At a rally in North West Essex, Farage declared that the Conservative Party should be 'bloody scared' of Reform UK, especially as recent polling suggests Reform has overtaken the Tories, with 24% support compared to the Conservatives' 23%. The rally, featuring speeches from four of Reform's MPs, highlighted the party's growing visibility and its appeal to disillusioned Conservative voters. Farage emphasized that voters view Reform as a party that 'will get things done,' similar to the sentiments surrounding Trump's administration. The event also served to address recent disputes with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who has dismissed Reform UK as a 'protest party.' Despite her reassurances, Farage's confidence and the rally's turnout suggest a shifting political landscape in the UK.
