US EditionReform UK Claims Largest Membership in Britain Amid Labour Decline
Reform UK reports more than 268,000 paid members, surpassing Labour's declining base now below 250,000 amid long-term membership drops since 2020.
- This week, Reform UK claimed it has more than 268,000 paid-up members and asserted it is now the largest political party in Britain, while The Times reported Labour's membership fell below 250,000.
- Labour's internal trend indicates membership fell to 333,235 last year, down from more than 530,000 under Jeremy Corbyn, declining steadily since Sir Keir Starmer became leader in April 2020.
- There is no legal obligation to publish membership figures, and they are not verified, while Reform uses a live online counter that only includes paid-up members with an annual fee of 25 or 10 for under-25s.
- A Labour Party spokesperson said Labour refused to comment on The Times figures and said membership would be published in its annual report, while the Conservative Party does not routinely publish membership figures.
- Smaller parties show divergent trends, with Green Party membership rising from around 70,000 to more than 180,000 since Zack Polanski became leader, while Liberal Democrats hold around 60,000 and Your Party reports 55,000 members; Conservative Party membership reportedly fell to around 123,000 since last year.
