Reform UK

Background

Reform UK is a right-wing political party in the United Kingdom. The party was set up by Nigel Farage in 2018 as the Brexit Party, then renamed Reform UK in January 2021 following the 2019 UK general election.

Richard Tice, founder of pro-Brexit group Leave Means Leave, led the party from March 2021 to June 3, 2024, when Nigel Farage announced he would return as party leader and stand in the July 2024 general election.1Ben Quinn, Pippa Crerar, and Eleni Courea. “Nigel Farage to stand for Reform UK in general election U-turn,” the Guardian, June 3, 2024. Archived June 3, 2024.

Tice had replaced Nigel Farage as Reform UK’s leader while Farage remained the Reform UK’s “honorary president” and an active supporter of the party.3Nigel Farage. “As Honorary President of Reform UK, I will be speaking at 11am.

According to analysis by DeSmog, the party received £135,000 in 2023 from donors linked to climate science denial and investments in fossil fuels.6Adam Barnett. “Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Took £135,000 from Climate Science Deniers and Fossil Fuel Interests,” DeSmog, November 17, 2023.

Tice is also a talk show presenter for GB News, which regularly platforms individuals and organisations that spread climate denial,7Adam Barnett. “Revealed: 1 in 3 GB News Hosts Spread Climate Denial On Air in 2022,” DeSmog, May 26, 2023. and has previously hosted programmes for TalkTV.8Richard Tice. “Richard clashes with climate author Gerald Kutney following a Twitter spat in which Gerald labelled Richard “disgraceful”.

Prior to its rebranding as Reform UK, the Brexit Party manifesto for the 2019 general election listed a number of anti-environmental policies as part of its platform, including cutting VAT on domestic fuel and scrapping the UK’s High Speed 2 (HS2) railway line.9Callum Tindall. “Election 2019: what are the Brexit Party’s policies – apart from the obvious,” The Conversation, December 3, 2019.

Stance on Climate Change

The Reform UK party manifesto for the 2024/25 UK general election doubts the legitimacy of climate science and questions the extent to which human activities are driving climate change:10“Reform is Essential,” Reform UK. Archived September 25, 2023. Archived .pdf on file at DeSmog. 

“Reform UK fully accepts that climate change is real, after all it has happened for millions of years based on multiple factors completely outside human control or influence. Warming has of course taken place over the last approximately 150 years, with signs over recent years that it is now leveling off. Humans have had an impact on this global warming, though scientists disagree as to how much. Those who think that getting to Net Zero will stop climate change are in fact just denying reality.”

The manifesto also includes a page discussing “an honest debate on climate change”, which includes the following claims: 

  • “The earth has increased in greenery over the last 30 years, partly thanks to higher CO2 levels. CO2 is a natural fertiliser, which is essential to plant life via photosynthesis, and without plants humans could not exist!
  • “The Arctic sea ice cover has increased since a low point in 2012 and is very close to 30 year average levels
  • “Overall sea ice cover in Antarctica has not declined in recent decades”.

The manifesto goes on to state that “Westminster’s Net Zero plans send our jobs and money overseas, making us Net Poorer and Net Colder”, adding that net zero policies are “net stupid”. 

The party also wants to develop new oil and gas fields in the North Sea, open onshore fracking sites across the country, and “restart opencast coal mines using the latest cleanest techniques”.

July 1, 2024

A report in the Guardian revealed that at least 30 Reform UK candidates for the 2024 UK general election had cast doubt over climate change.11Fintan Hogan. “At least 30 Reform candidates have cast doubt on human-induced global heating,” The Guardian, July 1, 2024. Archived July 1, 2024. Archive URL: https://archive.is/csxnS The report, which analysed social media content posted by Reform candidates, found they had variously claimed that warnings about anthropogenic warming amounted to a “hoax” or “scam,” which could be attributed to “globalist elite,” or “the illuminati.” 

Reform’s candidate for Great Yarmouth, Rupert Lowe, had posted “The cult of climate change marches on with no definitive evidence to support or deny the factual accuracy of their assertion,” according to the report.

May 31, 2024

In an appearance on news programme BBC Breakfast, then-Reform leader Richard Tice claimed that net zero policies would make no difference to sea level rise driven by climate change, and implied that volcanoes and the sun were responsible for atmospheric warming.12Simon Evans. “Reality check: the Reform UK party’s claims on the climate crisis examined,” the Guardian, June 4, 2024. Archived Archive URL: https://archive.ph/RTgHQ

Tice told the interviewer:

“Net zero will make zero difference to climate change, as confirmed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that says if you get to net zero, it’ll make no difference to sea level rise for between 200 and 1,000 years. Actually, what we need to do with climate change – of course, we all care about the environment of the planet – we need to adapt to it. The idea that you can stop the power of the sun or volcanoes is simply ludicrous. Anyone who thinks you can, frankly, you’re misinformed.”

March 2024

Reform UK published its “Contract With You”, which outlines the party’s manifesto pledges, with a section on “Energy & Environment” in which the party pledged to scrap green subsidy programmes and create new fossil fuel and nuclear infrastructure across the UK.13“ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT,” Reform UK, March 2024. Archived March 19, 2024. Archive URL: https://archive.is/ruemB

The section outlines four key groups of reforms that the party would make in its first 100 days in office, which include: 

  • A pledge to scrap net zero and related subsidies, with the claim that “The public sector is spending billions each year with no accountability or transparency.” 
  • A pledge to scrap renewable energy subsidies with the claim that “Achieve this through equivalent taxes on them. Renewables are not cheaper.” 
  • A pledge to fast-track oil, gas and coal extraction across the country, include fracking, with the claim “This could transform our nations fortunes and ensure prosperity for generations to come.” 
  • A pledge to fast-track new energy technologies, including “clean coal mining,” modular nuclear reactors, without mention of renewables.

In a press conference, party leader Richard Tice spoke about Reform UK’s platform ahead of the 2024 general election, including net zero.14“Bring On The Election! | Reform UK Press Conference,” YouTube video uploaded by user Reform TV, January 3, 2024. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.

Tice called for a cut to fuel duty, “thousands” of EU regulations, and to “freeze non-essential immigration”.

He also said the government needs to “scrap” net zero targets, saying:

“We’ve got to scrap the totally job-destroying, trillion pound cost of net zero. Just that alone will make people better off; that alone will ease the cost of living crisis. I talk about the betrayal of Labour against the working class. Net zero every week, every month is destroying thousands of skilled manufacturing jobs – steel jobs, automotive jobs. They’ve [Labour] betrayed their own people. Only Reform UK now is the party of the working class, who will stop mass immigration, who will scrap net zero, who will help solve the cost of living crisis.”

September 20, 2023 

The Reform Party posted a clip of Richard Tice on X (formerly known as Twitter), who called for net zero policies to be scrapped altogether. Tice labelled net zero policies as “the greatest financial negligence that the government has imposed on its people”.15“The Conservative Party should go even further and scrap all of net zero.

A DeSmog investigation revealed that Reform UK had accepted more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019, amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations.29Adam Barnett and Sam Bright. “Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election,” DeSmog, June 4, 2024. One day earlier Nigel Farage, founder of Reform UK, announced he was returning as party leader and standing in Clacton-on-sea as MP in the July 4, 2024 general election.

The investigation found that Reform UK had taken £200,000 from First Corporate Consultants, which is owned by Terence Mordaunt, director and former chair of the UK’s most prominent climate denial group, the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF).

Jeremy Hosking also donated £500,000 to the Reform UK since December 2019, the proprietor of Hosking Partners, a firm that had over £108 million invested in fossil fuels in 2021.

Reform also accepted £465,000 from Christopher Harborne, owner of AML Global, an aviation fuel supplier with a distribution network that includes “main and regional oil companies”, according to its website.

The largest single donor was Richard Tice, party chairman and leader until June 3rd 2024, who donated £1.1 million to the party. Tisun Investments, a company owned by Tice, lent Reform 50 loans worth £1.4 million since the start of 2020.

In response, a spokeperson for Reform UK said:

“Climate change is real, Reform UK believes we must adapt, rather than foolishly think you can stop it. We are proud to be the only party to understand that economic growth depends on cheap domestic energy and we are proud that we are the only party that are climate science realists, realising you can not stop the power of the sun, volcanoes or sea level oscillation. The deniers are those who continually gaslight the public into thinking you can stop these powerful natural forces. We must use the energy under our feet, rather than send our money and jobs abroad.”
