The policy test for Farage |
Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, stayed in the news with another media conference on crime this morning. He showed off the latest Tory defector, Rupert Matthews, a police and crime commissioner (with some strange views about ghosts and UFOs), and an endorsement from Vanessa Frake-Harris, a former prison governor. But to keep this up, Farage will have to come up with some policies. The funding for his plans on crime (more police) comes from imaginary money, and as for what a Reform government would actually do about the small boats and how much it would cost, there is only a blast of hot air. Sean O'Grady looks at some of the practical questions here. Farage can go quite far just criticising the government and the former Conservative government, but I think to sustain his breakthrough his plans need to have a semblance of plausibility about them – which they do not, yet. |
