Farage’s Radical Manifesto Shakes Up Election Campaign
Nigel Farage launched Reform UK’s manifesto in South Wales, targeting immigration and tax reforms. He criticized the Conservative Party’s handling of Brexit and expressed his intention to redefine political opposition in the UK.
Polling data indicates potential wins for Reform UK in several seats, including Clacton. Farage emphasized the need for innovative policies, despite criticisms over the manifesto’s significant spending plans.
Farage dismissed concerns about the manifesto’s cost, framing it as necessary for substantial change. He reiterated his belief that Labour would win the general election, with Reform UK providing the true opposition.

“It is radical, it is fresh thinking, it is outside the box.”
