Richard Tice has announced that Nigel Farage has become the new leader of Reform UK.
He told a press conference in London: “How do we turn on the rocket boosters, the turbo chargers, to this campaign?”
He added: “As people know, I wanted Nigel to be able to give as much energy and effort, commitment to this campaign, as he felt able to do.”
He then said: “I thought well actually, what I really want to do is to invite Nigel Farage to become leader of Reform UK.”
The new leader of Reform UK said: “We know that taxes will stay high. We know that mass immigration will continue regardless of which party wins power.
“We know that people will get poorer. We also know that crime or fear of crime will get worse.”
He added: “We’re doing better than our former partners in the European Union, but we’re massively behind America and many other parts of the world. We’re in social decline and we’re actually in a form of moral decline. We’ve forgotten who we are as a country.
Nigel Farage has announced he will stand as an MP for Reform UK.
He told a conference in London: “Now I stood here, a week ago, and I said look, hands up. I’ve been nonplussed by Rishi calling a short term election, it doesn’t give me the time to find a constituency doesn’t give me the time to build up data.”
“I thought the rational thing to do was not to stand but to do my bit as supporting the country, around the party, and for the last week, that is what I’ve been doing. I’ve been traveling all around the country. I’ve had the honour of appearing with Piers Morgan on Question Time amongst other things.”
He then announced: “I’ve decided I’ve changed my mind. It’s allowed you know. It’s not always a sign of weakness, it could potentially be a sign of strength.”
