Environment Secretary Steve Reed warned that ‘the hardworking public are going to pick up the tab for Nigel Farage’s vagueness, slogans and vacuity’ ahead of Reform UK’s conference
Nigel Farage offers anger, but no solutions.
The clueless crew of the Reform Party will be gathering at their party conference today. They will complain, shout and blame. But they won’t have any answers to the problems working people face. They never do.
Nigel Farage – fresh from his “talk Britain down tour” to the USA treacherously calling for economic sanctions that threaten the jobs of British people – will continue bashing Britain at every opportunity he gets.
For all of Reform’s bluster, the truth is they’re a party with no plan and no answers.
The Labour Party has exposed Farage’s “Don’t Know” manifesto for Britain. It lays bare the reality of Reform’s plan for Britain: they don’t have one.

From the economy to immigration to public services – Reform’s approach is simply to tell the public what they don’t like, not what they are going to do to fix things.
No Ideas Nigel’s favourite answer to any question on their plans is: “I don’t know”.
Across a whole raft of policy areas, Reform’s position is confusion, contradiction, and chaos. Farage and his colleagues collapse when subjected to even the lightest scrutiny
Don’t just take my word for it. Look at the evidence.
When it comes to the Online Safety Act which stops kids from seeing porn and extreme violence, Reform wants to scrap it. But when asked how they would keep kids safe no Ideas Nigel Farage said “I don’t know”.
Look at healthcare. Nigel Farage has long called for an insurance-based system instead of our NHS. He doesn’t know how much patients would be forced to pay to go to the GP.
Reform wants to take half the water industry into public ownership, but Nigel Farage says “I don’t know” on how much taxpayers would be forced to pay.
No ideas Nigel won’t come clean with how much taxes will have to go up to bill the £50 billion pound cost of part-nationalisation.
This isn’t leadership. It’s deception. And that deception comes with a hefty price-tag. The hardworking public are going to pick up the tab for Nigel Farage’s vagueness, slogans and vacuity.
Britain doesn’t need another round of empty promises and fantasy policies. It needs a government that will take the tough decisions that will benefit working people.
You can’t run a country with “don’t know” answers.
Only this Labour Government is renewing Britain, putting money in people’s pockets, fixing our NHS and securing our borders.
It’s time Reform came clean and told the British public the truth.
