Reform UK now has more members than the Conservative Party, its leader Nigel Farage has said. A digital tracker on Reform's website shows its membership numbers have overtaken the 131,680 figure declared by the Conservatives earlier this year.

Nigel Farage’s party, Reform UK, claimed this morning that it had surpassed 131,680 members. According to “Britain’s fastest growing political party”, that means it has more members than the Conservatives.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Nigel Farage of “fakery” over Reform UK membership numbers, after his party claimed they had surpassed the Tories in signed-up members.
