Jordan Bardella, the leader of France's far-right National Rally party, is set to address the Reform UK party conference, according to a report in The Guardian.
Cross-Channel populist alliance
The appearance marks a significant moment of cooperation between the two populist parties, which have increasingly aligned on issues such as immigration and national sovereignty. Bardella's address is expected to highlight shared policy goals and a common approach to challenging traditional political establishments.
Reform UK's growing ties
Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has sought to build closer links with like-minded parties across Europe. The invitation to Bardella underscores the party's ambition to position itself within a broader international movement of right-wing populism.
The conference speech is scheduled to take place later this year, with further details expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
