Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has outlined a comprehensive £17.4 billion plan aimed at halving crime in the UK if his party gains power. His law and order proposals include building five 'Nightingale' prisons within 18 months on Ministry of Defence land, introducing pop-up custody suites, fast-track courts, deportations, and a 'three strikes' system for repeat serious offenders. Farage also promised to abolish inheritance tax and pledged support for farmers. The crime reduction plan is to be funded through spending cuts in other areas. In a related development, Tory Senedd member Laura Jones has defected to Reform UK, becoming the party's first Member of the Senedd. Jones has been reported to have made a racist remark on WhatsApp, which has drawn attention following her defection. Farage's proposals have sparked debate about their feasibility and funding, with questions raised about how the ambitious crime reduction targets will be financed.
