Nigel Farage has announced that Reform UK is planning to have events in Wales, Scotland, and all of the English regions as it looks to increase its representation in the Senedd and town councils.

As the party concluded its national conference, the head of Reform planned regional gatherings in the North East and South West, a conference in Wales, and a meeting in Scotland.

On Friday, Mr. Farage outlined his strategy for professionalising the party and offering its members ownership rights.

He also said that Reform should take a cue from the Liberal Democrats' successful campaigning, saying that Reform should establish a local branch structure akin to that of the party in the future.Insisting upon the need for the party to professionalise in his closing conference speech on Saturday, Mr Farage said: “There is a limit to what the leadership team and the professional management structure can bring you.

“Yes, of course, we can make the big arguments. Yes, of course, we can make the news.

“Yes, of course, we can dominate social media in a way the other parties couldn’t even consider, and yes of course, with a small professional team we can put together unbelievable stage sets and conferences like this.

“But that only takes us so far.”

He then spoke of the need to establish Reform’s roots across the UK, announcing first a conference in Wales on November 8 at Newport’s Celtic Manor Hotel.

A November 9 conference in Exeter will follow, as will one on November 11 in the North East.

On November 30, Mr Farage said his deputy Richard Tice and others would host an event in Scotland.

Reform is eyeing up the Senedd, Wales’ Parliament, because the proportional voting system there makes it easier for the party to gain a greater number seats than at Westminster, where it won five constituencies in July’s general election.

The system has, in the past, benefitted Ukip, a party Mr Farage used to lead, and could stand to benefit his new party further as the voting system in Wales will be tilted towards a more proportional system at the next Senedd election.

On Friday, he told reporters Reform will need to win “hundreds” of council seats to classify next year’s local elections as a success.

"I have my own little private thought on that, but we will need to win hundreds for it to be a success," he responded when asked by reporters during the party convention in Birmingham what his standard of success would be in the local elections. The aim is for there to be hundreds of them. That concludes it.

"Organisationally, that's a tremendous accomplishment, as I mentioned just now, but we do have 266 branches that are either in the process of being established or have already been established. Additionally, you are powerless without branches and cannot sign nomination documents.
