Nigel Farage's party Reform UK has pledged to cut taxes for "working people" and raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000, which would take 2.9 million people out of income tax altogether. This is part of a larger plan to slash £80 billion from public spending, with more than half coming from the benefits budget. Reform UK's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick said he will resign if he fails to deliver this pledge within the first 100 days** of taking office, which would be one of the largest rises in the personal allowance in history. The plan is intended to ease the cost of living and kickstart the economy, but critics say it is a distraction from the party's funding scandals.
