Nigel Farage LIVE: Reform UK leader to make major announcement at press conference
Reform UK will aim to halve crime in five years if the party gets into government, Nigel Farage announced yesterday, as he estimated a £17.4 billion bill to achieve it.
Proposals to recruit more police officers and create new prison places contribute to the estimated £3.48 billion annual bill for the party’s plans on crime and justice.
Speaking at a press conference in Westminster on Monday, Mr Farage said: “Reform will be the toughest party on law and order and on crime that this country has ever seen.
“We will aim to cut crime by half in the first five years of Reform government. We will take back control of our streets. We will take back control of our courts, of our prisons.
“If you’re a criminal, I am putting you on notice today that from 2029 or whenever that may be, either you obey the law or you will face very serious justice,” he added.
