Nigel Farage's Reform UK Manifesto Launch Sparks Political Controversies

Nigel Farage's Reform UK has launched a 'contract' with voters, proposing radical policies including tax cuts and spending increases, which economists argue are financially unfeasible. The Scottish Tories have warned that a vote for Reform UK could hand the SNP victory in nine key battleground seats by splitting the Unionist vote. Meanwhile, the Conservatives, battling for a fifth term, face potential defeat as Labour leads in polls and is expected to gain a significant majority. Labour's promise to lower the voting age has been criticized by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who claims it would entrench Labour's power. Farage aims to position Reform UK as a major right-wing force, declaring his intention to stand for Prime Minister by 2029. With the Tories fearing a split vote and Labour poised for dominance, the upcoming election presents significant shifts in the UK's political dynamics.
