British populist leader Nigel Farage vowed on Friday to start preparing for government, saying the nation’s two main parties were in meltdown and only his Reform UK could ease the anger and despair plaguing the country to “make Britain great again“. To a prolonged standing ovation by a crowd at the annual party conference, Farage for the first time offered a vision of how Britain would be under a Reform government: He pledged to end the arrival of illegal migrants in boats in two weeks, bring back “stop-and-search” policing and scrap net zero policies. Despite having only four lawmakers in the 650-strong British parliament, Farage is becoming increasingly confident that his party – which was on the fringes for three years until last year – can beat both Labour and the Conservatives, taking the initiative on every issue from immigration to free speech.
