A - It appears to be the Heritage Party:

"SARS-Cov-2 is for most people mild or asymptomatic. Lockdowns are unnecessary, disproportionate and destructive and an attack on freedom. If people wish to wear a mask or have an experimental injection, that is their choice, but there should be no compulsion or coercion to do so. This is especially the case for children, and the moves to isolate and shame children in schools for showing their faces or not having a PCR swab up their noses are abhorrent."

I heard the leader, David Kurten, on the Delingpod and was impressed by his ease with the science (he's a former chemistry teacher) and his unflashy but fluent style. The manifesto is coherently conservative, especially social conservative, and I suppose it helps that he's mixed race as a sort of immunisation against the usual slurs.

Farage's new party (Reform UK) is anti lockdown. In fact there seems to be a strong overlap everywhere between lockdown scepticism and pro Brexit sentiments.

The next most sceptic party, ironically, is the Conservatives. The Brexit wing of the Tories also have an overlap with lockdown resistance.

Try the Reclaim Party founded by Laurence Fox.

The most sceptical is the Social Democratic Party:

https://sdp.org.uk/policies/covid-19-pandemic/

Guidelines for offices, shops, restaurants, public houses, cinemas and other businesses shall be formulated with the aim of both public protection and continuity of operation.

An expert governmental committee shall be convened (running parallel to SAGE and NERVTAG) tasked with assessing and quantifying current and long-term collateral costs of lockdowns and other virus suppression measures on health, the economy and welfare.

There are a few to choose from, of which, in my opinion, the Heritage Party is the best. As above, you've also got Farage's Reform UK, Laurence Fox's Reclaim Party, UKIP (a spent force by any measure) and, for those with left-leaning sympathies, the SDP.
