英国改革党推出自有报纸《Reformer》，法拉奇领衔撰稿

英国改革党（Reform UK）正式推出了名为“The Reformer”的自有报纸，首期封面头条为“Nigel Farage: we will fix broken Britain”，旨在绕过主流媒体直接向支持者传递信息 1。该报由前Spiked编辑Mick Hume负责领导，党魁奈杰尔·法拉奇担任主要撰稿人及唯一署名的“记者”，尽管该党同时雇佣了合格记者撰写文章 1。报纸内容涵盖法拉奇的专栏、地方补选结果以及移民政策主张等，其中刊登广告支持使用皇家海军阻止非法移民进入英国的“Operation Fortress”计划 1。

在发行规模上，《The Reformer》已发送给全英1500万人，印刷工作由曾服务《星期日泰晤士报》等媒体的Walstead Group承担 1。报道中还提及法拉奇在Clacton补选中获得22,239票，其对手包括Count Binface 1。为了扩大影响力并构建独立媒体生态，改革党希望建立“重要的国家出版业务”并运营YouTube电视频道，目前正在进行包含执行主编和多媒体记者在内的12名记者职位招聘，要求候选人能产出独家新闻 1。此举被视为该党提升党员人数并为未来选举做准备的重要战略步骤 1。

Reform UK has launched its own publication, titled “The Reformer,” with party leader Nigel Farage serving as the sole named journalist and front-page contributor. The inaugural edition features the headline “Nigel Farage: we will fix broken Britain,” marking a strategic move by the political party to establish an independent media presence and communicate directly with supporters without relying on mainstream outlets 1. Although the party employs qualified journalists to write articles for the paper, Farage remains the only credited reporter in the debut issue 1.

The distribution of “The Reformer” reached 15 million people across the United Kingdom, with printing handled by Walstead Group, a firm known for producing titles such as The Sunday Times 1. Mick Hume, formerly the editor of Spiked, leads the new publication 1. Reform UK is actively expanding its media capabilities, seeking to build a “significant national publishing business” that includes operating a YouTube television channel 1. The party has announced twelve job openings for journalists, including positions for an executive editor and multimedia reporters capable of generating exclusive content 1.

Content within the first issue covers various local and policy topics, including results from by-elections and hardline immigration stances. The newspaper reports that Farage secured 22,239 votes in the Clacton by-election, where his opponents included Count Binface 1. Additionally, the publication ran advertisements supporting “Operation Fortress,” a proposal to utilize the Royal Navy to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the UK 1. This initiative is viewed as part of Reform UK’s broader effort to grow its membership base and prepare for future electoral contests by controlling its own narrative ecosystem 1.
