Parties reward them - organize threatening issues off the agenda, provide tax perks to the rich, crony contracts, VIP lanes, honours.

Billing it “the shadow Cabinet” fits a pattern of hubris from Reform that I think voters will find increasingly unappealing.
We saw it today in Farage’s insulting treatment of an FT journalist.
And when he said Reform is “on track to become the next government”.
And in every Zia Yusuf appearance.
