Political Leadership and Immigration Debate in the UK

Tech billionaire Elon Musk demanded Nigel Farage be ousted as leader of Reform UK, but Farage's allies backed his leadership citing momentum in the polls and success in surpassing the Conservatives in paid party members. The controversy surrounding jailed activist Tommy Robinson was addressed as a distraction from the goal of taking power in the 2029 general election. Farage's efforts to shape the immigration debate in the UK towards a pro-sovereigntist position have gained traction, with Reform surging in polls and bookmakers predicting Farage as the most likely next prime minister.
