Reform UK vows £80bn public spending cuts in five-year plan
TL;DR Summary
Reform UK pledges to cut £80bn of public spending over five years, largely by shaving welfare by £50bn, plus £10bn from net-zero policies, £8bn from trimming the civil service and £7.1bn from capping overseas aid, with additional savings from immigration reforms; the party says it could cut taxes in its first Budget if markets trust it and will keep the state pension triple lock, while Labour warns the plan could jeopardize essential services. The proposals were outlined at a Birmingham conference alongside housing plans and other reforms.
