How Farage lost the Brexit Party and why it means Reform is not inevitable
Nigel Farage has lost the rights to the Brexit Party name in an apparent admin slip – the party he led to victory in the last ever European elections in the UK, effectively took out Theresa May’s premiership and ensured Britain would leave the EU.
He may not care now that he leads its successor party Reform UK but it is a rare symbolic loss for a man whose ascendancy currently appears to be inevitable.
The story of how he snatched the Brexit Party name from the original owner, Catherine Blaiklock, and she subsequently got it back is an allegory of why the unstoppable veneer of Farage and Reform may only be superficial and not a fait accompli.
