  • Reform's new chairman, the successful businessman Zia Yusuf, has begun to professionalise the party dismissing old staff, creating targeted election teams and recruiting new regional directors. It's said he's even recruited ex-CCHQ personnel which, as one Conservative MP pointed out, might not be such a good thing.

The article from Express.co.uk discusses the potential strategies and challenges facing Reform UK, a political party led by Richard Tice, as it aims to make an impact in the upcoming general election. Reform UK, formerly known as the Brexit Party, has been focusing on gaining ground in traditionally Conservative areas, particularly in the Red Wall seats. The party's primary challenge is to convince voters that it can offer a viable alternative to the Conservative Party, especially on issues like immigration, Brexit, and economic policy. The article highlights that for Reform UK to succeed, it needs to not only increase its visibility and voter base but also ensure it does not split the right-wing vote, which could inadvertently help Labour. Key points include the need for a clear, appealing policy platform, effective grassroots campaigning, and possibly some form of electoral pact or understanding with the Conservatives to avoid vote splitting. However, the party's past performance and current polling suggest that while there is potential for growth, significant hurdles remain in translating public discontent with the major parties into electoral success.
