Farage: Election campaign hijacked by ‘loopy’ candidates
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, stated that the party’s general election campaign was severely impacted by the controversy surrounding several of its candidates.
He described some of the candidates as “at best loopy and at worst extremely racist,” and acknowledged that this did “enormous harm” to the party’s chances.
Farage estimated that around 20 problematic candidates may have cost the party up to 1.5 million votes, stressing the importance of better candidate selection in the future.

Television presenter and ex-MEP David Bull has been named the new chairman of Reform UK, following Zia Yusuf's brief resignation and return amid a heated internal debate over burqa bans. Bull, a longtime ally of Nigel Farage and former deputy leader, brings media polish and party experience. Farage praised Yusuf for enduring the strain of professionalizing the party. As Reform eyes major political gains and pushes bold policies—including reindustrializing the UK and exploring crypto—Bull takes charge during one of the party's most chaotic weeks yet.
