Reform UK has more than 200,000 members, leader Nigel Farage announced on Sunday, as he set out the party’s next goal to overtake the membership of the Labour Party.

Farage called his right-wing party’s growth “truly extraordinary” at a Reform UK regional conference event in Wiltshire, England.

He held up a placard saying “200,000 members”.

He then pointed to a screen displaying the party’s live membership ticker on their website and said the message would change when he came offstage.

“That message will say, as I leave this stage, it’ll change, and it will say that the Labour Party have 309,000 members, and when we overtake them, we will be the biggest political party in this country.

“That’s our goal. That’s our aim. That’s our target,” he said.
