The Reform UK conference in Birmingham was a carnival of reaction—and showed that its leaders have a plan to turn it into a mass far right party.

Reform UK is riding high after it won five MPs at the general election in July, the first time a far right party has won parliamentary seats in Britain.

“I promise you, the sky is the limit,” leader Nigel Farage declared to the conference on Saturday. “If we succeed in 2025, we will build even bigger in 2026 and we will keep going.”

The second day of the conference, Saturday, was specifically aimed at helping to organise new branches. Zia Yusuf, Reform UK chair, told The Telegraph newspaper, “We already have almost 200 new branches across the country. We’re going to have local branches and local campaign managers”.

Turn? Or is it the "mass" bit they are missing?

i believe they are working on adding the mass bit, the thing with nazis though is the mass comes way later, first they build a strong SS.
