What do we know about Reform UK’s frontbench team of four?

Here are the briefs – and some of the views – of Robert Jenrick, Suella Braverman, Richard Tice and Zia Yusuf

Nigel Farage has named the first four members of Reform UK’s frontbench team. Here are their briefs and what we know, so far, about their views.

Robert Jenrick – Treasury

This budget demonstrates yet again that careful stewardship of the economy and meeting serious challenges in a serious way, thereby creating an environment for wealth creators to succeed, is always the right course. Now, the hard work of the British people is paying off.

Jenrick, as exchequer secretary to the Treasury, speaks in praise of Philip Hammond’s October 2018 budget.

There’s nothing socialist about saying that our economy should be concerned about salvaging strategic industries like steel or carmaking. We’re losing those strategic industries now.

Jenrick at the Reform press conference unveiling the new team on Tuesday.

Suella Braverman – education, skills and equalities

I’ve been very much occupied with home affairs, policing borders for many years, legal issues, but actually my real passion in politics is education.

Braverman speaking to GB News on Tuesday.

It is clear today that in too many respects, we are getting it wrong across our schools, a quiet crisis has taken hold … Discipline, once the backbone of education, has been weakened in the name of progressive ideology …

The Britain that I love is being ripped apart by diversity, equality and inclusion … on day one, we will get rid of the equalities department.

Braverman at the press conference.

Richard Tice – business, trade and energy

To be an enriched nation, you have to have to have cheap energy … and of course, that means using the joy of our very valuable energy treasure, oil and gas, offshore, onshore, and having the courage to get rid of the madness of what we have politely coined net stupid zero.

Tice at the press conference.

Buspace Studios has become our first building with zero net emissions … This is the first time a building in our London portfolio has made use of renewable energy, and we intend to replicate its success elsewhere across the portfolio.

2012 annual report for property firm CLS Holdings, of which Tice was chief executive.

Zia Yusuf – home affairs and immigration

We will not just leave the ECHR [European convention on human rights], we will derogate from every international agreement that could be used to frustrate our plan for deportations. We will take on the serious and real threat, that has been neglected, of radical Islam in our country.

“If you are in this country illegally, right now, and you are watching this, I want to be crystal clear: as Reform’s home secretary I will ensure that you are deported from these lands.

Yusuf at the press conference.

We are going to move at great speed. It’ll be much more like Trump mark two than Trump mark one …

The notion that politicians can determine what is going to become mainstream language is for the birds. What is the dictionary definition of an invasion? It is an incursion by a group of people in an unwanted way.

Yusuf in an interview with the Sunday Times last August.
