Nigel Farage's Reform UK party holds its first annual conference, seeking to project unity after a turbulent year marked by internal disputes and defections.

Reform UK says a future government under the party would bar foreign nationals from almost all welfare payments, a move that would require renegotiating the UK's Brexit deal and could affect British expats in the EU.

UK polling expert Sir John Curtice says a real but modest Burnham bounce exists for Labour, with the governing party narrowly ahead of Reform in new polls.
