Original Note:
This group is not the Shadow Cabinet. By convention only the official opposition can have a shadow cabinet - that is the second largest party in Parliament. It is appointed by the Leader of the Opposition. As they have no MPs, Reform UK can’t have a shadow cabinet. https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/shadow-cabinet/ https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/shadow-cabinet http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/82593.stm
