FARAGE BLASTED: STARmer’s Fearful Warning on Reform UK “Economy Threat”
— Prime Minister Keir Starmer is taking aim at Nigel Farage and Reform UK, claiming their economic plans would wreck the country just like Liz Truss’s 2022 mini-budget. Starmer says Farage’s ideas — like ending the two-child benefit cap and raising income tax allowances — are “fantasy economics” with no way to pay for them. He warns these moves could spark another financial crisis and hit families with higher mortgage bills.
Starmer is comparing Farage directly to Truss, whose tax cuts led to market panic and her quick exit from office. Labour claims Reform UK’s promises could leave a giant hole in public finances, calling it a repeat of Truss’s mistakes. The prime minister wants voters to see Labour as steady while painting Reform as reckless.
Farage isn’t backing down. He says his policies help working families and that Labour is scared because Reform is climbing in the polls and winning local elections. A spokesperson for Reform called Starmer’s attacks “desperate” from a party falling behind.
As support for Reform UK keeps growing, Starmer warns voters not to trust Farage with their jobs or futures. The battle lines are clear: stability or bold change?
