Farage pledges tax breaks for married couples

Nigel Farage will today pledge tax breaks for married couples to encourage people to have bigger families.

In a major speech, the Reform UK leader will argue Britain faces an 'existential crisis' because of plummeting birth rates and that the tax system needs overhauling to incentivise marriage and help couples afford more children.

Boosting birth rates would create a bigger homegrown workforce, he is expected to argue, helping end reliance on foreign labour.

Scrapping the two-child benefit cap would 'just be the start' under a Reform government, he is expected to add.

In a bid to outflank Sir Keir Starmer by appealing to Left-leaning Labour voters, he will pledge to fully reinstate the winter fuel allowance for pensioners.
