Since winning MPs for the first time at the July general election, Reform has surged in polls and says it has signed up more than 220,000 members.Friday's rally was Reform's biggest event to date with the party saying 10,000 people turne out, most paying £5 to attend the event at Arena Birmingham.

Farage entered for his keynote speech on a JCB vehicle he said had been loaned to him by JCB chairman and major Tory donor Lord Bamford.He said potholes were the "perfect symbol for broken Britain", where he accused councils of being "asleep at the wheel".At the 2024 local elections, Reform stood in only 12% of available council seats – but this year Farage announced the party were fielding nearly a "full list of candidates across the entire country".
