YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNIgel Farage's party has reportedly overtaken the Conservatives' membership figures for the first time.
A digital counter on the Reform website showed a membership tally before lunchtime on Boxing Day ticking past the 131,680 figure declared by the Conservative Party during its leadership election earlier this year.
But Tory Party leader Kemi Badenoch is disputing the credibility of the counter - saying it increases automatically.
