Reform UK leader to set out ‘pro-entrepreneurship’ agenda while rowing back on tax cuts pledge
Nigel Farage will promise a bonfire of business regulation as he spells out his party’s economic policies in more detail than ever in an attempt to bolster its reputation for fiscal credibility.
The Reform leader will give a speech in London putting deregulation at the heart of his economic agenda, while also dropping a commitment made at the last election to deliver £90bn of tax cuts.
The message is designed to bolster his party’s reputation for fiscal credibility after experts warned that his promises to cut £350bn from government spending over the next parliament did not add up.
Farage will say: “When it comes to Brexit … we have not taken advantage of the opportunities to deregulate and become more competitive. The harsh truth is that regulations and regulators, in many areas, are worse than they were back in 2016.”
