Summary
Reform UK and Nigel Farage face a challenging period marked by controversy over a £5million gift received before Farage became an MP, which led to tense media interviews. The party also suffered its third by-election loss in Makerfield, where Andy Burnham won decisively and the hard-right Restore party siphoned votes. Party insiders have indicated plans to "recalibrate" and "reset" their strategy amid what some describe as an "existential moment" for the party.
