Reform UK leader and Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage took aim at Britain's governing Labour Party on Friday, telling supporters his right-wing party was gaining voters disaffected with the government and would win the next election.

Nigel Farage has said "bigots" and "extremists" are not welcome in Reform UK, as he seeks to "professionalise" the party after its election success. Addressing its annual conference in Birmingham, the Reform UK leader said the party was "coming of age" after winning its first MPs in July.

A montage of his career was set to stirring music, equal parts David Miscavige and reality show Big Brother. Farage strode through the crowd to rapturous applause, having selected his walk-on music as “Without Me” by Eminem (key lyric: “we need a little controversy”) in true prize-fighter style.
