Farage appoints RAF wing commander as armed forces spokesman to rebuff claims he is pro-Putin

Reform UK is appointing Angus MacIntyre, an RAF Wing Commander with a forty-year military career, as its armed forces spokesman. This decision follows months of criticism regarding the party's failure to take defence seriously. The appointment aims to rebuff claims that Nigel Farage is pro-Putin. By bringing in a senior RAF figure, Reform UK seeks to address concerns over its defence posture and provide a professional voice for its military and national security policies.
