Summary
Nigel Farage called on trade unions to leave Labour and affiliate to Reform UK, claiming Reform is now "the party of workers." However, the trade union movement swiftly and roundly rejected his invitation, reminding Farage of Reform UK's anti-worker policies, including pledges to scrap employment rights protections. Unions, which founded the Labour Party in 1900, dismissed the overture as contradictory to their values and interests.
