Nigel Farage has celebrated Reform UK hitting 180,000 members.

The jubilant Reform leader shared a picture on social media holding a dartboard registering the maximum 180 score.

The milestone came as Reform held its North West England conference in Chester on Saturday.

Reform chairman Zia Yusuf said: “History is being made as the century-long stranglehold the two old parties have had on Britain is finally broken.

“Our membership continues to surge and just this week we have topped a national opinion poll.

“We have all the momentum in British politics and before long we will see Nigel Farage as our Prime Minister.”

It comes after Mr Farage’s party over took the known Conservative membership of 131,680 on Boxing Day.

The Brexit architect became embroiled in an extraordinary spat with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch after she accused Reform of faking a live counter on its website.

The Clacton MP has since declared Ms Badenoch’s North West Essex seat a target for his party at the next election and is due to hold a rally there at the end of the month.

Reform’s popularity has been building following Mr Farage’s return to politics ahead of July’s general election.

The insurgent party last week came joint first in an opinion poll for the first time alongside Labour.
