Nigel Farage has been announced as the new leader of Reform UK, replacing Richard Tice who has resigned. Farage's leadership comes ahead of the upcoming general election in July, which is just over four weeks away. Farage has also confirmed that he will be standing as an MP for Clacton. This move is seen as a significant development for the party and a major blow for the Conservatives. Farage stated that he felt he was letting people down by not standing and has taken time to reflect on his decision. Richard Tice described the party as 'ambitious and hungry for more' as he stepped down. Farage criticized the current election campaign as the 'dullest election campaign in many years.'
