Nigel Farage

If Reform win a by-election on their own incompetence, a Tory leadership challenge beckons

Why you should believe in Mrs B

Ducking the big challenges, preferably into a large body of water

Farage and friends have intriguing but uncertain prospects in Northern Ireland

One tries evasion, one tries confusion, and one wants conflict in all circumstances

The party is not living up to the transformative energy that has pushed it up the polls

The party must prepare itself for an assault on its legitimacy

Everyone is dispensable at Reform UK, except for one man

The Tories’ flailing failure looks more like performance art than sound political strategy

If the rise in popular support is real, then Reform can’t be a one-man band
