BBC Political Editor Chris Mason on the 2025 Reform Conference. Note the report was edited on 8th September to add a couple of critical paragraphs..
This is the most fascinating party conference I have ever been to.
Yes, I am an insufferable nerd: I have been coming to things like this for 20 years.
I have been to Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Scottish National Party, UKIP and Green Party conferences.
Firstly, an admission. I arrived late here.
I’m blaming Angela Rayner and the government reshuffle that followed her resignation, which meant I had to be in London on Friday.
What is fascinating about this gathering is it illustrates the pace of growth of Reform UK.
It is a vastly bigger gathering than the party had last year.
It now feels like a big party conference – but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.
That is the unique combination I have never seen before.
