New initiative aims to give British Jews a direct voice within Reform UK as party seeks to expand support amid debate over antisemitism and Middle East policy
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has launched a new initiative titled the Reform Jewish Alliance, describing it as an effort to give British Jews “a voice” within the party and to strengthen engagement with Jewish communities across the country .
The announcement was made at an event attended by party representatives and supporters, where organisers said the alliance would provide a formal platform for policy discussion, community outreach and advocacy on issues affecting British Jews .
Farage, who leads Reform UK, said the creation of the alliance reflects growing concern among Jewish voters about antisemitism and security, and argued that his party is committed to robust support for Jewish life in Britain and for the State of Israel .
Party figures indicated that the initiative will work to develop policy proposals and foster dialogue on matters including community safety, education and foreign policy .
The move comes as Reform UK seeks to broaden its electoral base ahead of future national contests.
Recent polling has shown the party attempting to position itself as a challenger to both Labour and the Conservatives on issues ranging from immigration to national security .
By establishing a dedicated Jewish affiliate, Reform UK appears to be targeting constituencies where concerns about antisemitism and Middle East developments have featured prominently in public debate .
Critics from rival parties have questioned the timing and intent of the initiative, suggesting it forms part of a broader electoral strategy.
Reform UK representatives have rejected that characterisation, insisting the alliance is intended as a long-term engagement structure rather than a short-term campaign vehicle .
The launch follows heightened political discussion in Britain over antisemitism and community security, particularly in the context of tensions linked to events in the Middle East.
Organisers of the Reform Jewish Alliance said they aim to create a forum in which British Jews can contribute directly to party policy and ensure their perspectives are reflected in national debate .
