Caption: Farage Unveils Reform UK ‘Shadow Cabinet’ As Jenrick Named ‘Shadow Chancellor’. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unveiled a “shadow cabinet,” positioning his insurgent party as a government-in-waiting. With just eight MPs, Reform is not the official opposition — a role held by the Conservatives — but Farage said the move shows the party is more than a “one-man band.” Former Conservative Robert Jenrick, who defected last month, has been named “shadow chancellor” and is set to outline his economic agenda in the City of London. Jenrick attacked what he called “decades of mismanagement” and vowed to oppose Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Deputy leader Richard Tice would oversee business, trade and energy, pledging to scrap net zero policies and expand offshore oil and gas. Head of policy Zia Yusuf becomes “shadow home secretary,” while former Conservative Suella Braverman takes the education brief. Rival parties mocked the reshuffle, with Labour saying Jenrick and Braverman “failed Britain before,” and the Liberal Democrats dismissing the move as cosmetic. Despite its small parliamentary presence, Reform UK continues to top opinion polls ahead of both Labour and the Conservatives.
