The post of Reform UK was created on 20 January 2019 as the leader of the Brexit Party with Catherine Baiklock as its first leader as soon as party was founded. In March 2019, Baiklock resigned as party leader due to anti-Islam messages she posted on her Twitter account before she took on the role. She was succeeded by Nigel Farage. In January 2021, Farage renamed the party to its current name, Reform UK.
