Will Farage be Reform leader by end of the year?

Nigel Farage is currently the leader of Reform UK. Recent news reports confirm his ongoing role, including laying flowers after the murder of Reform member Ann Widdecombe and turning down what the party called a downgraded state-funded security package. Some online discussion speculates he could step down amid party tensions or competition from groups like Restore Britain, but he remains firmly in post as of July 2026.
