Britain’s Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, has declared itself the largest political party in the country by membership, claiming more than 268,000 paid members—a figure that surpasses Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party.
The announcement follows a report that Labour’s membership has fallen below 250,000. Labour declined to confirm the specific figure, stating it publishes official numbers annually in its accounts and is under no legal obligation to disclose them sooner.
Farage hailed the milestone, saying: “As we have suspected for some time, Reform has overtaken Labour to become the largest political party in British politics—a huge milestone on our journey to win the next election. The age of two-party politics is dead.”
Reform displays a live online counter that it says only counts those who have paid the £25 (~$33) annual membership fee.
Labour’s membership has collapsed since Sir Keir Starmer replaced Jeremy Corbyn as leader in 2020, dropping from over 530,000 to 333,235 by the end of 2023. Recent reports indicate it has further declined to under 250,000.
Meanwhile, the Green Party now has more than 180,000 members under co-leader Zack Polanski, while the Conservative (Tory) party is estimated at around 123,000 members and Corbyn’s new, Islamo-leftist Your Party claims 55,000.
A September 2025 Electoral Calculus MRP poll projected Reform winning 36 percent of the vote and an 84-seat parliamentary majority in the next general election, with Labour at 21 percent and the Conservatives at 15 percent. The Labour government has faced accusations of delaying local elections to forestall anticipated Reform victories.
Additionally, Farage’s international standing is growing, as French National Rally (RN) leader Jordan Bardella met him in London on December 10 and pledged joint action on migration policy to stop migrant boats.
