Reform UK's Election Manifesto: Policy Breakdown

Reform UK's manifesto includes seventy billion pounds a year in tax cuts, funded by canceling net zero goals and budget cuts. They propose a freeze on non-essential immigration and stronger measures against illegal migrants. The party aims to increase police presence, toughen sentencing, and make significant changes to education, housing, and transport policies.
Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, presents a 28-page 'contract' detailing various policy proposals despite not expecting to win the election.

Major points include: substantial tax cuts worth seventy billion pounds a year, funded by canceling net zero plans and budget cuts; a freeze on non-essential immigration, withdrawal from the ECHR, and stronger measures against illegal migrants; scrapping net zero goals to save thirty billion pounds annually, contrasting with lower spending estimates from the International Energy Agency; zero basic-rate tax for NHS staff for three years and twenty percent tax relief on private health insurance; addition of forty-thousand police officers, mass stop and search, and tougher sentencing with mandatory life sentences for repeat offenders; education policies focused on a 'patriotic curriculum' and opposing 'transgender ideology'; housing plans to increase building while protecting landlords and opposing many transport regulations.

Additionally, the party aims to motivate the unemployed by withdrawing benefits if job offers are declined, abrogate the Windsor framework, and seek constitutional changes such as an elected second chamber and proportional voting system.
