'There’s no substance': Reform UK's election 'contract' scrutinised by Tom Swarbrick | LBC

Tom Swarbrick grills Reform UK's deputy leader Dr David Bull about his party's policies, which were unveiled today in an 'election contract' - their version of a manifesto.

It comes after Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage said he intends to fix 'broken Britain' and stated his intention to run for PM in 2029.

The Reform UK leader launched the contract from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, noting that the word "manifesto" has been "devalued" by the major parties.

During the policy unveiling, Farage blamed Brexit "disenchantment" on lack of leadership in government, with the Reform UK leader pledging to raise the threshold at which earners start paying tax to £20,000 in a bid to "make work pay".

It follows comments made by Farage in which he declared he would “absolutely” stand to be the UK’s prime minister by 2029. "Our real ambition is the 2029 general election," said Farage.
