Reform, the creation of former Ukip and Brexit Party boss Nigel Farage, has been averaging at about 10 per cent in opinion polls as it targets Tory failure to deliver on promises to curb migration.
Party leader Richard Tice pledged today that Reform will stand in every constituency in the next general election, a move that could imperil many Tory seats.
And he told a press conference that Mr Farage — last sighted in a jungle on a TV reality show — was considering staging a comeback, a move that would likely turbocharge Reform’s prospects.
Once derided by Farage as a ‘fraud,’ Jenrick has defected to Reform, bringing experience and political ruthlessness to the populist right — and raising the unsettling prospect of a Farage-led movement with a seasoned operative pulling the strings, says ANDREW MURRAY

With Reform UK surging and Labour determined not to offer anything different from the status quo, a clear opportunity opens for the left, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
