Nigel Farage is about to launch another political party 

The Reform Party will set their sights on the House of Lords to begin with.

Nigel Farage has announced his plans to launch another political party just twelve months since the Brexit Party started up. 

The prominent Brexiteer had previously talked about plans to rebrand his business as the Reform Party, and now a peer has claimed he is convinced it would go ahead.

House of Lords

Lord David Owen, a former minister and SDP co-founder, said: “Mark my words – Nigel Farage has a proven record of getting shifts of opinion in this country.

“And now, he has singled out reforming the House of Lords.

“He is going to launch some new party.

“He has chosen proportional representation and House of Lords. He will lead with the House of Lords, though.

“It won’t be very hard to pull out.”

Reform Party

In November Farage told one news organisation that he would “disappear” as soon as Brexit was sorted, but in a separate interview outlined his intentions to launch a “Reform Party”.

He said: “We might need to rebrand as the Reform Party. Definitely our appetite is for political reform. This country wants political reform. It’s sick of the whole bloody system. Sick the whole lot.

“We talk about [Washington as] the swamp and we are beginning to talk about Westminster in the same way.”

He continued: “It’s ludicrous. And the way the whole peerage and honours system has been used. The whole thing is corrupt.

“There is an absolutely massive disconnect. The idea of changing politics is completely on the table.

“Electoral reform 10 years ago was for the Oxford Union, now people actually understand it. They hate the House of Lords. This is going to be a big issue in the next few years.”

Several local Brexit Party social media accounts have already rebadged themselves as branches of the Reform Party.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
