Reform UK hosted their annual conference on Friday. And this time they're serious.

Will Lloyd and Nicholas Harris joined approximately ten thousand attendees who, they say, were "breathless" in the presence of Nigel Farage.

The Reform leader, Will reports, has "accepted the inevitability of being Prime Minister".

Will and Nicholas join Hannah Barnes on the New Statesman podcast to discuss why Keir Starmer must take Reform UK seriously. They consider how Labour can counter the rise of a party which increasingly represents "the median British voter", according to More in Common.
