Reform UK will hold the "largest ever rally in modern British political history" in just under two months' time, Nigel Farage has said.

Thousands of supporters, candidates, party top brass and more will head to the Arena Birmingham on March 28 - and Farage has vowed that "we are only just getting started".

"Reform has all the momentum in British politics and we are only just getting started," the party leader said.

“May 1 is our first real test and we are kicking off our campaign with something that's never been done before.

"I can't wait to show you all what we've been planning."

The rally comes as the surging party kicks off a slew of local election campaigns across the country.

In a veiled swipe at cancellations across the nation, a party statement on Sunday said: "County council elections are currently due to take place in 88 days - and Reform UK will be aiming to win seats all over the country.

"To announce our campaign, we will be hosting the biggest ever launch rally in modern British political history.

"This will be held at the Arena Birmingham on March 28, and Nigel Farage will be joined by many thousands of supporters alongside our new Mayoral and local election candidates."
