Reform UK has this week announced its ‘shadow cabinet’. But with a familiar cast of former Conservative ministers, can Nigel Farage shake off claims that his ‘one-man band’ is little more than a Tory 2.0 project? Kiran Stacey and Peter Walker discuss what the appointments reveal about Reform’s policy direction. Plus: who is Antonia Romeo, the newly appointed cabinet secretary?
