For months, Reform UK’s momentum has stalled – beset by financial scandals, falling poll numbers and, for the first time, the signs of splits within its leadership.

Today in Focus host Helen Pidd heads to the conference, hearing from Farage loyalists and critics – as well as the party rank-and-file – to see where Reform may head next … and whether Farage will hang around to be its leader at all.
