Nigel Farage branded 'farcical' as alien and UFO enthusiast defects to Reform UK

Earlier today, our Politics team reported that Nigel Farage has been branded "farcical" after ranting about Britain's problems but giving few details about how he'd solve them.

The Reform UK leader hosted a press conference in central London where he announced the police and crime commissioner for Leicestershire, Rupert Matthews, has defected from the Conservative Party to Reform UK. It soon emerged Mr Matthews is a paranormal expert, who is an enthusiast for UFOs, aliens and the Loch Ness monster.

Labour savaged Mr Farage after the press conference, saying he only offers "anger, but no answers". And the PM's political spokesperson said: "Their big defection is very interesting in the fantastical and unexplained. It's no surprise he's added Reform's fiscal plans to that list."
