Reform UK currently holds 5 MPs in the UK House of Commons.

This figure reflects recent changes like defections and suspensions as of early 2026.

Recent Changes

Reform UK's parliamentary presence has fluctuated since the 2024 general election. Key events include:

  • Initial 5 MPs sworn in : Nigel Farage (Clacton), Richard Tice, Lee Anderson (Ashfield), Rupert Lowe, and James McMurdock.
  • Rupert Lowe suspended in March 2025, dropping to 4 MPs.
  • Sarah Pochin won Runcorn and Helsby by-election in 2025, restoring to 5.
  • James McMurdock stepped down in July 2025 due to business issues.
  • Danny Kruger defected from Conservatives on 15 September 2025, bringing it back to 5.

These shifts highlight Reform's growth through by-elections and defections amid local election successes, like winning 677 council seats in 2025 (later adjusted to 668).

Current MPs

Here's the latest lineup based on verified records:

Forum Buzz

Online discussions, like on Reddit's r/ukpolitics, often note Reform's outsized media presence despite tiny MP numbers—0.7% of MPs yet 25% of BBC bulletins in late 2025. Posters debate their populist appeal under Farage, with some calling it disproportionate airtime and others crediting strong storytelling. Trending views mix skepticism ("inconsistent messaging") with support for challenging the establishment.

TL;DR : Reform UK has 5 MPs as of January 2026, up from election lows via defections and wins—watch for more shifts before 2029 GE.
