Reform UK classifies Russia as the 'greatest threat' to Britain's national security
The party’s security review also brands Iran and China major threats and backs freezing Russian assets to support Ukraine, officials said.
- On Friday, Reform UK published its National Security Review, declaring Russia Britain's "greatest state threat" and accusing the Kremlin of "waging a hybrid war" against the UK.
- Former RAF commander Angus MacIntyre now leads the party's defence policy, with senior sources describing his appointment as a "clean break" from previous accusations that Nigel Farage was a Vladimir Putin apologist.
- Eight principles guide the review, which identifies Russia, China, and Iran as "fundamental threats to the security of the West," branding Tehran the "largest state-sponsor of terrorism" and Beijing a "tyrannical regime."
- Labour security minister Luke Pollard responded to the announcement, noting the government is "clear about the threat posed by Putin" while delivering the largest defence spending increase since the Cold War.
- With Reform at 18 per cent in recent polling amid a Tory resurgence, insiders suggest Farage remains intensely focused on ratings, fearing potential leadership exits if numbers dip further.
