Reform UK claims it is now the largest political party in Britain, following reports Labour has lost more members. According to the Times newspaper, external, internal figures show Labour's membership has fallen below 250,000. Reform said it had more than 268,000 paid-up members, which would mean it has overtaken Labour to become the biggest party by membership in the UK. Labour refused to comment on the accuracy of the membership figures in the Times, with a spokesperson saying they would be published in the party's annual report.
