Daniel James Jukes (born June 1996) is a British political communications adviser and public relations consultant. He has been described in media reports as a long-serving aide, spokesman and communications adviser to Nigel Farage.[1]
Early political activity
In 2014, Jukes was active in Young Independence, the youth wing of the UK Independence Party. Prospect described him that year as an 18-year-old political campaigner and Elections Officer for Young Independence, and reported that he had played a significant role in organising an email campaign directed at Labour politician Chuka Umunna.[2] The Independent also reported on the campaign and named Jukes among the young UKIP supporters involved.[3]
Career
In December 2016, PRWeek reported that Jukes would become Farage's press officer from 1 January 2017, succeeding Michael Heaver.[4]
Jukes has subsequently been described in media coverage as part of Farage's communications and media operation. In 2023, The Times described him as Farage's press officer in an article about Farage's media strategy and online presence.[5] In 2024, The Guardian described Jukes as a long-term media aide to Farage and reported that he had helped with Farage's social media during Farage's appearance on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.[6]
During the development of Reform UK, Jukes was identified in press coverage as a figure close to Farage. In February 2025, The Guardian described him as a long-term aide and communications director within Farage's circle.[7] The following month, The Spectator described Jukes as Farage's spokesman and reported that he had joined UKIP as a teenager in 2012.[8]
