Nigel Farage lies low as Reform UK approval sinks

Nigel Farage is expected to hold just his third press conference since May's local elections next week, a sign of the Reform UK leader's low profile amid Prime Minister Andy Burnham's whirlwind first weeks in office. His approval ratings have sunk following scrutiny of his finances, including an undeclared £5m gift, and he faces a quixotic re-election bid in Clacton on 13 August. Reform insists he is not invisible.
