Ex-Reform chief urges Nigel Farage to ‘have a break’ | Politics | News

The former chief of Reform UK has called on Nigel Farage to “give the party leadership a break”. He insisted the party was “much bigger” than the current leader and said Farage needed to “take a break” from the stress of being in charge.

Dr. served as Reform’s president until he was replaced by Lee Anderson in May. David Bull broadcast this advice on Channel 5. But Farage, the Clacton MP, is thought to have cut back on weekend events to focus his energies on leading Reformation.

As reported by Daily MailMr Bull said: “I was there from the beginning with Richard Tice, for example. I’m very proud of what we’ve done and what we’re doing now is professionalising the party. “The party is bigger than Nigel, the party is much bigger than Nigel.

“Politics is a brutal business, and I think that’s also one of the other things I would tell you. [Farage] “As a friend and colleague, he actually needs to take a break and take a break.”

Commenting on the rise of Restore Britain, he added: “I think we’re going through such a rollercoaster and it’s quite interesting to start a political party. I’ll just mention Restore and Rupert Lowe, for example. I think what Rupert found is that it’s incredibly difficult to start a political party. It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of people.”

Mr Bull left his post last month after becoming “very physically unwell”. He added that his tenure as president “almost killed me.”

He explained: “I saw 30,000 people working all over the country in men’s clubs, village halls, etc. I increased the membership from 90,000 to 268,000.

“We became the fastest-growing political party in the country, we became the largest political party in this country. And I actually felt like I couldn’t do that, I literally felt like staying on the road for a year was a really tough job.”

“The rise of the Reformation in the UK was phenomenal. Then I had to make a decision. I wasn’t very good at the end of it.”
