Parliament may be in recess – but for Reform UK the work does not stop. This morning Mr S noticed a bit of transfer activity on the party’s Companies House page. Both Nigel Farage and Richard Tice were no longer listed as ‘persons with significant control’; in their place was Reform 2025 Ltd, as of yesterday. And today, the party claims it has now officially democratised, with the new constitution coming into effect. In a statement, Chairman Zia Yusuf said:
As promised, Nigel Farage has handed over ownership of Reform UK to its members. Reform UK is now a non-profit, with no shareholders, limited by guarantee. We are assembling the governing Board, in line with the constitution.This was an important step in professionalising the party. We will soon have more exciting announcements about Reform UK as we prepare for government.
A series of rallies are planned for the forthcoming month, including one in five weeks’ time in Birmingham – where Yusuf first made his name in June last year.
