Farage says Reform UK is no longer a one-man band' so who is in his new top team?

"Nigel Farage unveiled his party's first front bench appointments on Tuesday, as the Reform UK leader attempted to dispel accusations that the party is a one-man band. Claiming that Reform now has its own brand, Reform has its own identity, and now Reform has its own senior characters with their own departments to lead, Mr Farage appointed four key spokesperson roles."

"Two Conservative defectors, Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman, were given roles, with the former being made the party's so-called shadow chancellor', while the latter was put in charge of education, skills and equalities. Mr Farage's deputy, Richard Tice, was named as the spokesperson for business, trade and energy, while Zia Yusuf was named home affairs spokesman on a promise to dramatically cut both legal and illegal migration."

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and emphasizes on-the-ground journalism to parse facts from messaging. Investigations include the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet prioritizes free access to reporting over paywalls, asking for donations to fund sending reporters to both sides of stories. Nigel Farage appointed Reform UK's first front bench to counter perceptions of a one-man party, naming Robert Jenrick as economics spokesperson, Suella Braverman for education, Richard Tice for business, trade and energy, and Zia Yusuf as home affairs spokesman.
