    LIVERPOOL, England — Nigel Farage will use a speech in a Brexit-backing Labour heartland to start the fightback after Andy Burnham reignited Britain’s EU debate. The Reform UK leader — a key architect of Brexit — will make a “major speech” in Doncaster on Thursday to rail against the Labour prime minister opening the door to a possible return to the bloc, a senior Reform official told POLITICO. Burnham used his first Labour conference as leader, in Liverpool on Tuesday, to snip three political l

    LONDON — Nigel Farage has always faced a battle to get Reform UK ready for the next general election. Labour’s nascent recovery under Andy Burnham is only increasing the urgency. The insurgent right-wing force has only about 100 star candidates considered ready to run as MPs — bar a final vet, two people aware of the process told POLITICO. That’s a long way from the 650 needed to contest every Westminster seat. A nationwide Reform UK roadshow to pluck out more potential candidates begins its sec

    LONDON — The Metropolitan Police said Wednesday it will investigate allegations Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party broke the law after an undercover investigation was broadcast last week. The Met said detectives will probe multiple “potential offences” arising from the overseas donations sting by Verbatim and Channel 4 News.
