In conversation with Richard Tice MP, Deputy Leader of Reform UK
What would Reform UK mean for the way UK government works?
Following the May 2026 local and devolved UK elections, Reform UK is running over 20 local authorities, has two regional mayors, and is the second-largest party in the Welsh parliament. But how would a Reform UK government in Westminster approach complex challenges like rewiring the state, boosting public service productivity, and growing the British economy?
On 7 July, the IfG welcomes Richard Tice MP, Reform UK’s Deputy Leader and the party’s business, trade and energy spokesman, to discuss Reform UK’s vision for government.
What has the party learned from its experiences in local government across England? How would it approach relations between Westminster and devolved governments? And what policies would Reform UK prioritise if it wins the next general election – and what possible trade-offs would it face in government?
Richard Tice will be in conversation with Dr Hannah White, CEO of the Institute for Government.
