Britain’s right-wing Reform UK named ex-Conservative Robert Jenrick as finance policy chief, part of leader Nigel Farage’s efforts to prepare his populist party for government in the event that it wins the next national election.
Reform leads the governing Labour Party in opinion polls as Prime Minister Keir Starmer struggles to deliver growth and jobs while being forced to make a series of high-profile U-turns.
Farage named Jenrick as shadow chancellor, putting him in line to serve as finance minister if Reform wins the next election, due in 2029.
