Reform to launch new campaign app

Reform UK kicks off party conference season tomorrow. Thousands of attendees are expected to flock to the Birmingham NEC to hear from Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf and others. A year after the last jamboree, the party is keen to emphasise how much it has grown in the 12 months since: 700 councillors, the Runcorn triumph and four months of poll leads to boot too. And now, in the party’s bid to make further gains next May, Steerpike can reveal that the party is launching its own campaign app to co-ordinate Reform’s 230,000 members across 400 active branches.

Chairman David Bull will be touting the new ’ReformGo’ app in the coming days. It will contain a social feed updated by the party’s public officials, with membership details and upcoming events too. Senior insiders believe that it shows that Reform is the most advanced ‘high tech’ party in Britain, with the party’s campaign infrastructure in HQ run off a new AI-powered backend. The website is also set for an overhaul, with the party’s online shop now stocking signed football shirts signed by Farage.

All this aims to prepares Reform’s supporters to sweep the country in next year’s devolved and council elections. The people’s army indeed…
