Farage Says He Would Overhaul Lords and Judiciary to Deliver Reform UK Pledges
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he would seek to change the House of Lords and the judiciary to ensure his party's policy pledges are implemented if it wins power, according to the BBC.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has indicated he would consider overhauling the House of Lords and the judicial system to help deliver his party's policy priorities if Reform UK were to win a general election, the BBC reported.
According to the report, Farage said he intends to implement key commitments within the first 100 days of taking office, should his party form a government.
The BBC report did not provide further detail on the specific mechanisms Farage proposes to alter the House of Lords or the judiciary, nor did it specify which policy pledges he considers most urgent to enact.
Reform UK has positioned itself as seeking rapid implementation of its agenda if elected, though the party has not yet won a general election in the United Kingdom.
This is a developing story and further details from Farage or Reform UK have not yet been independently verified beyond the initial BBC report.
