  • He is a former British Army officer and Parliamentary whip, expected to lead Reform UK's campaign to grant immunity to former soldiers.
  • Farage said Holloway’s military and parliamentary experience will be vital before the next general election, and Reform UK is the only serious option in Kent.
  • Holloway views joining Reform as a rescue mission to challenge Labour and aims to strengthen the party ahead of the 2029 election, seen as the UK’s last best chance.
