Nigel Farage was interviewed by Nick Robinson on a Panorama election special, where he spoke about various policies and beliefs. Farage criticized the EU and Nato for expanding eastwards, which he believes provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
During the interview, Farage outlined some of Reform UK's key policies, including freezing non-essential immigration to boost wages, protect public services, address the housing crisis, and reduce crime. He also proposed detaining and deporting illegal migrants who come to the UK, with a plan to pick up and return migrants in small boats back to France if necessary.
Farage emphasized the need for healthcare reform to improve outcomes and reduce NHS waiting lists while maintaining free healthcare at the point of delivery. He also suggested raising the income tax starting threshold to £20k to provide relief for the lowest-paid individuals, scrapping energy levies and net zero initiatives to lower energy bills, and tapping into Britain's oil and gas reserves to stimulate economic growth and combat the cost of living crisis.
