Nigel Farage was appointed Leader of Reform UK for the second time in 2024. On 17 February 2026, Farage announced the creation of the first Reform UK spokesperson team. Similar to the official Shadow Cabinet, Reform members were assigned certain portfolios for which they are to be the main spokespersons.[2][3][4]

The team was described by Farage as a shadow cabinet due to the party's at the time lead in national opinion polls and the prospect of it forming government without ever having been the official opposition.[5]
