Richard Tice and Zia Yusuf will host Reform’s latest press conference from 11am where the pair is set to focus on the new councils it controls.
The Party’s deputy leader’s plan to “slash council tax bills” by overhauling council-controlled pension funds will also take centre stage.
On 1 May 2025, local elections were held in 23 of England’s councils. Reform UK won the largest number of seats with 677, amounting to 41% of all seats up for election.
It is understood that Reform leader Nigel Farage will be watching from the front row rather than being involved this time.
Immigration could be another issue that features at the event after Reform engaged in a war of words with the Church of England over the party’s plans to deport all asylum seekers who arrive in small boats.
The church’s most senior bishop called the proposal “isolationist, short-term [and] kneejerk”. But Tice hit back against the archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, on Sunday, accusing him of interfering in domestic politics.
