2025 - 5: Will Nigel Farage Be Prime Minister?

Political journalist Fraser Nelson goes beyond the headlines to explore the rise of Reform, assessing the impact of Nigel Farage and his young party on the existing political infrastructure. As Reform builds momentum, Nelson examines the deeper forces behind its support - disillusionment, identity and a hunger for disruption - and assesses whether Britain might be on the verge of a political earthquake. Is Reform merely the nation's biggest ever protest vote to date - or is it the start of a surge that will eventually see Farage become prime minister?
