Farage Says Ready to Lead Right Wing With Collapse of Legacy Tories

Right-wing UK politician Nigel Farage, who played a major role in the 2016 Brexit movement, launched his new Reform party's manifesto on Monday and called on Conservative Party members to "join the revolt" to take on the Labour Party.

The manifesto includes leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), halting all non-essential immigration, and deporting all illegal immigrants to France. It also includes cutting government spending by 5%, scrapping green energy initiatives, and cutting foreign aid by 50%.

Farage further plans to raise the minimum taxable annual income from £12.57K ($15.9K) to £20K ($25.3K), abolish the inheritance tax for all estates valued at under £2M ($2.5M), and abolish stamp duty [property tax] entirely.

Reform also wants to implement patriotic curriculum in primary and secondary education, cut taxes on independent education by 20%, and ban transgender ideology in primary and secondary schools. Those on welfare would also get cut off if they repeatedly decline job offers.

Farage aims to win 6M votes in the July 4 election, but most polls project Reform winning only a few parliamentary seats at most. While the Labour Party is expected to win the government this year, Farage's long-term goal is to become prime minister (PM) in 2029.

Conservative PM Rishi Sunak noted that he "understand[s]" why some people's "frustrations" would draw them toward the Reform party, but argued that the Conservatives are "on the right track" and could still win next month.
