Brexit Party to be renamed Reform UK and will campaign against lockdown
Quote:
The Brexit Party is to be relaunched as an anti-lockdown party called Reform UK, Nigel Farage and Richard Tice will announce on Monday, in a move which could alarm libertarian Conservative MPs.
In a joint article for Monday's Telegraph, Mr Farage and Mr Tice declare that "lockdowns don't work", and say their new party will back a policy of "focused protection" from coronavirus only for the most vulnerable, to allow the rest of the population to develop herd immunity.
The plans to change the name of the Brexit Party to Reform UK are subject to approval of the Electoral Commission. Papers were submitted to the regulator last week.
Reform UK hopes to stand a slate of candidates at May's elections - when the Tories are contesting thousands of shire seats, as well as policing and crime commissioner elections - and the next general election, expected by 2024.
