[Farage is seeking to relaunch his political career
by rebranding the Brexit Party as an
anti-lockdown party.
The party has formally applied to the Electoral Commission
to change its name to Reform UK and will campaign against
coronavirus measures.
Announcing the party's new aims, Mr Farage - who has
led UKIP several times - and Richard Tice,
the Brexit Party chairman, said
it will tackle several 'powerful vested interests'.
These include 'the House of Lords, the BBC,
the way we vote, law and order, immigration'.
The pair also claim 'badly run,
wasteful quangos are in abundance'.
But the party - which hopes to capitalise on
anti-lockdown sentiment - believes the
most pertinent issue
is 'the Government's woeful response to coronavirus'.
The announcement follows another day of Covid news yesterday
in which:
Some 23,254 cases were reported yesterday - 17.5 per cent
more than the 19,790 cases seen last Sunday]
