Brexit Party is re-branding as an anti-lockdown party with 'Reform UK'.

Nigel Farage rebrands his Brexit Party as Reform UK as an anti-lockdown movement.

Nigel Farage rebrands his Brexit Party as Reform UK as an anti-lockdown movement. The Brexit party has applied to the Electoral Commission to change its name to Reform UK to rebrand the party, which has no elected representatives. Farage and party chairman Richard Tice said they would adopt an anti-lockdown platform to give a political voice to opponents of COVID-19 restrictions.

Brexit Party contested 275 seats but took only 2% (28 seats) of votes in last year’s election and failed.

The party said that Reform UK would promote focused protection for COVID infected people, targeting resources at those most at risk, and would back the Great Barrington Declaration, a letter organized by prominent advocates of herd immunity.
