Channel 4 News and Verbatim exposed senior Reform UK figures discussing secret poll funding, a proposed £500,000 donation route from an American via a British intermediary, and Nigel Farage later calling the support ‘all above board’. The footage deserves to be seen.
Operation Fortress promises that no small boat will reach Britain. The Navy would intercept boats and return people to France or Belgium. The missing part is that Britain cannot unilaterally make another country accept them.
Reform says severely disabled people will keep cash support. Its welfare plan also proposes reassessment, a new disability test and a different model for many other disabled people.
Reform wants marriage to become a core social-housing allocation factor. We agree the current system can penalise stable couples, but preferential treatment for marriage creates a new unfairness.
Reform proposes statutory social-housing maintenance standards with eviction required after repeated failures. We examine what that means for ordinary tenants, disabled people, carers and older residents.
Illegal working and unsafe delivery vehicles are real problems. Reform proposes prison, huge fines and full British licences. We examine what would change, what already exists and what other solutions could work.
Reform wants at least half of social homes occupied by British-born workers and reserves its new programme for British-born workers. Citizenship and birthplace are not the same thing.
