Reform party members were in a jubilant mood today, as the
\nparty’s Birmingham conference aligned with news of Deputy Prime Minister Angela
\nRayner’s departure from government.<\/p>\n

Soon after Rayner announced she would be resigning after
\nunderpaying tax on a flat purchase in Hove, Reform party leader Nigel Farage
\nsought to capture the moment by giving his headline speech three hours early.<\/p>\n

After a rush for seats, the crowds at Birmingham’s National
\nExhibition Centre were urged by Farage to “be ready” for an early
\ngeneral election in 2027 – though one isn\u2019t expected until 2029.<\/p>\n

Watching on, our correspondent Nick Eardley describes how
\nit’s hard
\nto overstate the confidence<\/a> at the Reform party’s conference.<\/p>\n

We’ve got a full
\nrundown<\/a> of Farage’s performance and promises on stage – which had
\ntouches of Donald Trump’s campaign as the Clacton MP pledged to “make
\nBritain great again”.<\/p>\n

Today’s event is the first of the party conferences that
\ntake place in the autumn and Reform looked to drum up anticipation when it
\nwelcomed ex-Tory minister Nadine Dorries to its ranks last night.<\/p>\n

Invited on stage by Farage, she told supporters in the hall
\nthat Reform is the “party of the moment” – and our reporter at the
\nconference says a
\nlot has changed<\/a> for the party in a year.<\/p>\n

We’re ending our live coverage here, but you can have
\na read of our news story for the full picture on Nigel Farage’s speech to the
\nReform party conference.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘We must be ready for early election,’ Nigel Farage tells partypublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 5 September…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117832,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-117831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
