BIRMINGHAM, England — Nigel Farage’s first party conference speech since he shook up Britain’s election was billed as a warning shot to the established political parties in Britain: the right is coming for you.

In Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre, legions of fans sporting merchandise backing either Farage’s Reform UK outfit or U.S. Republican Donald Trump filed towards the main stage — many clutching pints of beer before noon as the fun began.

It’s Reform’s first conference since it came third in the popular vote in this year’s general election — racking up 4 million votes and boosting its representation in the U.K. parliament, including a long-coveted seat for Farage himself.
