The secret is finally out: Reform UK has now overtaken the Labour Party to become the biggest political party in the UK.
This marks a huge milestone on our journey to win the next general election. It also marks the gravestone of Britain’s old two-party system.
We have suspected for some time that Reform’s soaring membership, currently at 269,000 and counting, had eclipsed the Labour Party’s declining total. But Labour has kept its real membership numbers a secret, reportedly hidden even from its own national executive committee.
Now we know why. Leaked figures from Labour HQ reveal that Keir Starmer’s fading party has lost 100,000 members since it won the general election last year. Labour membership has slumped below 250,000. The hollow shell of the Tory Party is only about half the size of Labour.
Two party politics is dead, and Reform stands ready to bury it for good. In the 2024 general election campaign, we lacked the forces on the ground to compete against the more established parties.
Since the election, however, Reform’s membership has rocketed from 61,000 to 268,000 – an increase of well over 330%. Our network of branch activists is flourishing. Reform’s rapid growth means we now have the manpower to take on the political establishment and win.
Reform continues to have the momentum in British politics, following on from our earthquake win in May’s English local elections. We have led in more than 175 consecutive national opinion polls, with a consistent 10-point lead.
And we keep winning at the ballot box too, taking council seats from all the mainstream parties in by-elections around Britain.
Just last night, Reform came from nowhere to win a seat from Labour in West Lothian, Scotland. No Labour or Tory stronghold is safe anymore.
We have become the biggest party in the country by giving British people positive hope that we can change our great country for the better. Reform is more ready than ever to fix broken Britain.
