REFORM UK now has more than 260,000 paid-up members, the party revealed last night.
Deputy Leader Richard Tice hailed the achievement, saying Nigel Farage’s movement has gone “from strength to strength”.
It comes as the number of Lib Dem members has almost halved in the last five years to an embarrassing 60,000.
Mr Tice said: “Reform has all the momentum in British politics.
“We are now one of the largest political parties in Western Europe by membership and that will only increase.
“We now have the foot soldiers to fight elections across the country.”
Labour currently has the largest membership base, at 333,235 as of the end of last year.
Mr Farage said: “I now predict that we will be the biggest political party in Britain before long.”
