Reform UK to hold ‘largest ever rally in modern British political history’ as THOUSANDS of supporters invited to mega venue

Reform UK will hold the “largest ever rally in modern British political history” in just under two months’ time, Nigel Farage has said.

Thousands of supporters, candidates, party top brass and more will head to the Arena Birmingham on March 28 – and Farage has vowed that “we are only just getting started”.

“Reform has all the momentum in British politics and we are only just getting started,” the party leader said.

“May 1 is our first real test and we are kicking off our campaign with something that’s never been done before.

“I can’t wait to show you all what we’ve been planning.”

The rally comes as the surging party kicks off a slew of local election campaigns across the country.

And in a veiled swipe at cancellations across the nation, a party statement on Sunday said: “County council elections are currently due to take place in 88 days – and Reform UK will be aiming to win seats all over the country.

“To announce our campaign, we will be hosting the biggest ever launch rally in modern British political history.

• Ex-Reform chief tells Farage what he ‘SHOULD be calling for’ to fix ‘overwhelming’ migrant crisis
• ‘Unrecognisable’ Tories suffer youth ‘crisis’ as members flee to Farage

“This will be held at the Arena Birmingham on March 28, and Nigel Farage will be joined by many thousands of supporters alongside our new Mayoral and local election candidates.”

The venue is the fourth-largest indoor arena in Britain – and can host up to a fraction under 16,000 people.

And before the announcement, Reform UK’s chief whip Lee Anderson said: “This will be huge. Make sure you get a ticket early as these will go quicker than Oasis tickets!”

While deputy leader Richard Tice, after the news, said: “All the fun, energy and passion is with Reform UK.”

The announcement follows a week in which seven polls have placed Reform UK ahead of the Conservatives – and one, from pollsters at Find Out Now, has put the party in front of Labour too.

Find Out Now’s head of research Tyron Surmon told GB News: “The 2024 General Election saw the lowest combined vote share for the two major parties in British history, with Labour and the Conservatives together getting 57 per cent of the vote.

“In Find Out Now’s latest voting intention polling this has gone even lower – now at 44 per cent – with Reform now as the largest party.

“Reform have almost doubled in support since last July, driven equally by winning over a fifth of 2024 Conservative voters, and almost half of those who didn’t vote last time but said that they would if there were an election now.

“No other party has grown their voter base in this way.”
