Reform UK has announced Robert Jenrick as the party’s pick to become chancellor if it wins power at the next general election.
The former Conservative minister – who defected to Reform last month – said his party’s plans would restore stability to the economy, cut waste, bring down the benefits bill and reduce taxes.
Meanwhile, another recent Tory defector, Suella Braverman, has been handed the education and skills brief, with deputy leader Richard Tice given a new role combining business, trade and energy policy.
Announcing his new top team, which he branded a “shadow cabinet”, leader Nigel Farage said Reform was “the voice of opposition” to the Labour government.
