Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has unveiled a series of sweeping pledges that would radically reshape Britain’s climate, immigration, and equality policies if his party wins the next election.

He promised to scrap the country’s Net Zero climate target, end the use of asylum hotels, bar people arriving illegally from staying, and dismantle Government-mandated Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, which he claims cost taxpayers billions of pounds.

Farage argues these steps would deliver significant savings, reduce pressure on public services, and restore what he calls ‘common sense’ governance.

He acknowledges the upfront costs but insists the long-term benefits outweigh them.

The Net Zero target, a key commitment of successive governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, would be abandoned under Farage’s plan.

Analysts warn this would undermine Britain’s international climate pledges and weaken the country’s role in global energy transitions.

On immigration, Reform UK has pledged to shutter asylum hotels and tighten enforcement against illegal arrivals, insisting that those who come without authorisation should not be allowed to stay.

Farage also vowed to dismantle DEI initiatives across public institutions, arguing they are wasteful and divisive, while critics say their removal could fuel inequality and social tension.

While Reform UK has gained momentum in polls and local elections, questions remain about how such radical changes could be implemented legally, how they would be funded, and whether they could withstand challenges under human rights law.

Opponents argue that Farage’s promises may generate political instability at home and risk Britain’s standing abroad.
