Nigel Farage was appointed Leader of Reform UK for the second time in 2024. On 17 February 2026, Farage announced the creation of his first frontbench team of Reform UK Members of Parliament and individuals. Similar to the official Shadow Cabinet, Reform members were assigned certain portfolios for which they are to be the main spokespersons on. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

The frontbench was described by Nigel Farage as a Shadow Cabinet due to the party's lead in national opinion polls, and the prospect of it forming government without ever having been the official opposition. ^[5]
