Summary
Nigel Farage has announced Reform’s “shadow” Cabinet team as he continues to prepare for a general election that he insists will happen in 2027.
Camilla and Tim assess who got what job, the absent roles (and faces) and Farage’s reaction to the Daily Telegraph’s “Campaign for Democracy” after the Government U-turn on cancelling 30 local elections.
They also speak to Suella Braverman, Reform’s new “shadow” education minister, who has pledged to introduce a “patriotic curriculum” and to repeal the Equality Act.
