Farage unveils ‘contract’ and announces intention to run for PM in 2029 at Reform manifesto launch


Grant Shapps says Tories ‘fighting for every single vote’ as he faces questions on campaign

Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has unveiled his party’s manifesto, outlining bold plans to stop illegal immigrants from settling in the UK, scrap net-zero targets, and raise the minimum threshold of income tax to £20,000 a year. Speaking at a community center in south Wales, Farage admitted that his party may not win the general election but aims to be a contender for prime minister by 2029.

However, Farage’s plans have been met with skepticism, with critics calling them “unserious” due to the £141 billion in extra spending they would require, which is three times more than what Liz Truss promised in her mini-budget. Despite this, a poll for the Sunday Times projected that Farage would narrowly win in Clacton and Reform UK could secure seven seats in the election.

In response to the criticism, Farage defended his manifesto, stating that it represents radical and fresh thinking that is lacking in the current political landscape dominated by Labour and the Conservatives. He emphasized the need for a strong opposition and expressed confidence that Labour would be in power by July.

The debate surrounding Farage’s manifesto comes at a crucial time in the election campaign, with tensions rising between political parties as they vie for votes. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
