Reform UK declares election ‘war footing’ as Labour faces Epstein crisis

As Britain's Labour government faces mounting pressure over the Epstein files scandal, the right-wing Reform UK party has declared itself on election "war footing". Leader Nigel Farage addressed supporters in Birmingham, where the party claims to now be Britain's largest by membership. Polling suggests Reform could win the most seats if an election were held today, though Farage acknowledges the party is only "halfway" ready to govern. The party has attracted defecting Conservative MPs and is positioning itself as an anti-establishment, anti-immigration alternative to Britain's traditional two-party system.
