Is James Cleverly correct that the Conservatives remain the biggest right-wing party?
James Cleverly, Shadow Housing Secretary, stated on 10 May 2026 that the Conservatives remain the biggest right-wing party amid Reform UK's strong local election gains, including control of Essex County Council. Reform UK reports around 270,000 members, while Conservatives stand at 113,000 per last update, and new party Restore Britain claims over 130,000 members since February 2026. Recent polls and discussions question this amid vote share shifts and splintering of the right-wing vote.
