""Indeed, any elected politician who wants to play a part in our movement and help turn Britain around has until that date to apply to join Reform," "Now is the time to decide: do you want to go down with the failed politics of the past, or go forward with Reform UK - the party of hope, optimism and change?""
"Reform UK is a right-wing populist political party that was founded in 2018, originally as the Brexit Party before rebranding as Reform, and is well-known for its anti-immigration and eurosceptic policies. The party has a poor track record when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, with the party's policy pledge, entitled "Our contract with you", attacking "divisive, 'woke' ideology", claiming "transgender indoctrination is causing irreversible harm to children" and vowing to ban so-called "transgender ideology" in schools, alongside stating social media platforms "push baseless transgender ideology and divisive Critical Race theory"."
Reform UK set a 7 May deadline for elected politicians to apply to join, after which applications from current and former MPs and councillors will be closed. The party framed the choice as between continuing with failed politics or joining a movement of hope, optimism and change. Several Conservative MPs, including Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell, have defected to Reform. Reform UK began in 2018 as the Brexit Party and rebranded as Reform, positioning itself as a right-wing populist party with anti-immigration and eurosceptic policies. The party's platform criticises 'woke' ideology and targets transgender rights in schools and online.
