BIRMINGHAM, UK - FEB. 9, 2026: Supporters of Britain's far-right party Reform UK gathered for a rally at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, England, on Monday, Feb. 9.Reform UK leader Nigel Farage attended the event and delivered a speech to party members and supporters.The rally brought together a large number of participants as the party continued its campaign activities across the United Kingdom.According to a new survey released last month, Reform UK has fallen to its lowest polling level since April, continuing a downward trend.Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has been accused of going back on its election pledges to cut council tax after several councils under its control signaled plans to raise rates close to the legal limit.Among them is Kent County Council, the party’s flagship authority and a key “shop window” for how a Reform-led government claims it would govern, which has proposed a 3.99% council tax increase.This development is likely to have a significant impact on the party’s voter base in the near term.(Footage by Loannis Alexopoulos/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
