Jordan Bardella will address Reform UK's party conference in Birmingham on Friday, putting the French far-right leader alongside Nigel Farage as both men seek to strengthen their political profiles. The appearance also marks closer ties between two of Europe's most successful populist radical-right parties that share similar positions on immigration but have not always been natural allies.
Bardella, 30, and 62-year-old Farage are from different generations but appear to appreciate one another.
