Shaking things up in the West Midlands as Reform’s first councillor in region
According to Reform’s membership counter, the party has more than 182,000 members which they claim is more than the Conservatives.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch infuriated Nigel Farage when she accused him of faking the growth, claiming the counter was “coded to tick up automatically”. He demanded an apology from her.
But while Reform has grown rapidly, it has not been without controversy.
Pete Durnell joined the party on a voluntary basis in 2021 and is now in a paid position as their regional organiser for the West Midlands.
We meet in Smethwick, where he came second as the Reform candidate in the general election.
“The party is completely focused on getting into government for 2028-29 and we believe we can do it,” he says.
