Unions Reject Farage’s Call To Join Reform UK. Trade unions have rejected an invitation from Nigel Farage to cut ties with Labour and affiliate with Reform UK instead. Farage said his party’s door was open to unions and invited them to attend Reform UK’s conference later this year. The offer followed a poll suggesting Farage was the most popular party leader among trade union members. However, union leaders were quick to dismiss the proposal. Sharon Graham said Reform had shown “absolutely no evidence” that it supports workers, while Unison accused the party of opposing key employment protections. The GMB union also criticised Reform UK, arguing its actions do not match its rhetoric on workers’ rights. Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting joined the criticism, accusing Farage of voting against workers’ rights while claiming to support trade unions. The exchange highlights growing competition for working-class voters ahead of future elections.
