Nigel Farage to abandon Reform manifesto’s big plans for tax cuts
- In an interview with The Times, Farage said he will not cut taxes until spending is reduced, abandoning his £90 billion pledge.
- Amid criticism from economists and opponents, the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned last year the manifesto `do not add up` and would require substantial public-service cuts.
- In the 2024 manifesto, Reform proposed lifting the income tax personal allowance to 20,000, costing between 50 billion and 80 billion, while pledging abolition of inheritance tax threshold of 2 million and now plans civil service and borrowing ban.
- Farage will deliver a major speech next month, promising 350 billion in cuts to public services and civil service before any tax reductions.
- With Reform polling at 27 per cent, the party aims to campaign ahead of next year's Senedd election and court Jonathan Brown and business donors to reassure swing voters.
