Nigel Farage is unveiling his future cabinet should Reform UK win the next election, with Robert Jenrick confirmed as the party's new shadow chancellor.

Mr Jenrick's rise to one of the insurgent party's top roles comes weeks after a shock defection from the Tories.

The Reform leader has also assigned other key roles to top figures in his Party during a speech in Westminster.

Head of policy Zia Yusuf has been handed Shadow Home Secretary, and Richard Tice has been given a new "super department" brief combining business, trade and energy.
