On 26 December 2024 Reform UK claimed that its membership had overtaken the Conservative Party and become the UK's second-largest party, behind Labour, in terms of size. By July 2025 UK Reform claimed that it had 250,000 members compared with 123,000 in the Conservative Party. Labour Party was still the largest party with 309,000 but this was a large fall from the 532,046 members that it had under Jeremy Corbyn at the end of 2019. On 3 February 2025 Reform topped a national YouGov poll for the first time. After the bad May election results Keir Starmer decided to attract those voters he had lost to Reform UK.
In September, 1997, Spartacus Educational founder and managing director John Simkin became the first educational publisher in Britain to establish a website that was willing to provide teachers and students with free educational materials.
According to a survey carried out by the Fischer Trust, Spartacus Educational is one of the top three websites used by history teachers and students in Britain (the other two are BBC History and the Public Record Office’s Learning Curve). The Spartacus Educational website currently gets up to 7 million page impressions a month and 3 million unique visitors.
As well as running the Spartacus Educational website John Simkin has also produced material for the Electronic Telegraph, the European Virtual School and the Guardian's educational website, Learn. He was also a member of the European History E-Learning Project (E-Help), a project to encourage and improve use of ICT and the internet in classrooms across the continent.
