Voters bounced between the two main parties... now they want something different

PHONE call from Nigel Farage changed David Bull’s life — and now the doctor-turnedtelevision presenter is crisscrossing Britain on a mission to make the veteran Brexiteer Prime Minister.

He has worked in emergency departments across London and he relishes what he sees as a historic opportunity to bring Britain back to full health.

Mr Farage summoned Mr Bull on to the front line of British politics this month to succeed Zia Yusuf as the chairman of Reform UK.

The party is in first place in the opinion polls and for weeks it has had a doublepoint lead over the Conservatives.

“It’s amazing I’m part of British political history,” Mr Bull says.

This is not the first time Mr Farage has sent him on a life-shaping adventure.

Ahead of the 2019 European election, Mr Bull had just returned from a holiday and was unpacking when he picked up a call from the then leader of the Brexit Party.

“I nearly fell over the balcony,” he remembers.

Mr Bull — who was born in the same Farnborough hospital as Mr Farage — jumped at the opportunity to stand for election and won a seat for the North West of England in the European Parliament.

When he arrived in Brussels, he quickly understood how ardent eurosceptics could start enjoying the plentiful perks and get “sucked into” the system.

“We were showered with goodies,” he says.
