Nigel Farage has threatened legal action after Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch claimed Reform UK was faking its membership numbers.

Earlier this week, Reform UK claimed they now have more members than the Tories – 141,000 compared to the Conservative’s 131,680.

Mrs Badenoch, however, has accused the party of faking this number in a series of social media posts.

Writing on X, she alleged that the counter – displayed on Reform’s website to mark its “historic” membership – is fake and designed “to tick up automatically.”

Mr Farage has branded these allegations “absolutely disgusting” as other high-profile members of the party called for him to launch legal action against the leader of the opposition.
