What a UK government led by Reform would look like

Reporter Reads

Available for over a year

Reform UK could win more seats than any other party at the next general election - perhaps enough to form a government. Or so suggest repeated opinion polls, released since May. That was also when Reform won control of 10 English local authorities - so what does their first six months at the helm at local level tell us about what a UK government led by them could look like? The BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth examines the party's record - and whether its politicans can keep their promises.
