Richard Tice is a British businessman and Reform UK politician who has held roles including Deputy Leader of Reform UK since 2024 and, as of early 2026, served as Reform UK’s Business, Trade and Energy spokesperson. This profile has remained consistent through mid-2024 to 2026, with his leadership tenure at Reform UK ending in 2024 and Nigel Farage taking the party’s leadership then, while Tice remained active in parliamentary and party roles .
He won a seat in the 2024 general election representing Boston and Skegness, defeating the incumbent Conservative MP Matt Warman, and subsequently joined Reform UK’s frontbench team in a spokesperson capacity. Coverage from mainstream outlets notes his election win and revised role within the party after the 2024 vote .
In early 2025, Reform UK MPs—including Tice—voted for a national inquiry into rape gangs, a procedural stance that notable party lines supported, though the amendment did not pass. This is part of the party’s ongoing parliamentary activity in 2025 .
Media appearances in 2025–2026 show Tice actively engaging in public commentary and party messaging, including appearances on GB News and other outlets where he discusses immigration policy, Brexit-era themes, and Reform UK’s policy positions. These appearances illustrate his ongoing public role and positioning within the party during this period .
