Farage claims ‘well-known’ figures want to join Reform UK cabinet
Farage would appoint Reform UK cabinet ministers from outside House of Commons
- Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, stated that a future Reform UK government could appoint individuals from outside Parliament to key cabinet positions, challenging the traditional Westminster model.
- Farage dismissed the idea that ministers must be politicians in the House of Commons as "nonsense," drawing comparisons to the US system where cabinet members often lack prior electoral experience.
- He expressed his ambition to become Prime Minister, asserting that he is the only one with the courage to address the country's difficult issues and turn things around.
- During a phone-in, Farage described same-sex marriage as a "settled issue" and found a recent Commons vote to decriminalise abortions after 24 weeks "disturbing."
- Farage also called for US President Donald Trump to be permitted to address Parliament during his upcoming visit to the UK.
