Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has admitted he is “proud” of the party entering a “new phase” with an “established identity”.
Addressing a press conference in Westminster, Mr Farage said: “I tell you what I’m really pleased about, a year ago, you look at opinion polls and Farage is popularity and the party’s popularity were two different things. There was a big gap between the two.
“Now, if I was hit by a bus tomorrow, Reform has its own brand, Reform has its own identity, and now Reform has its own senior characters with their own departments to lead, so I’m enormously proud of that.
“But I can assure you that that phase, that phase of getting this thing going, of raising the money, of raising our profile, we’re past that phase, and that’s what today is actually all about.”
