Defined benefit public sector pensions are the British state’s second largest liability. They’re about £2.4 trillion - around 100 per cent of GDP. The old parties have ducked this for years. Most of the media won’t talk about it either. But Reform UK will not dodge this mammoth issue. Richard Tice has already announced that a Reform would close Local Government Pension Schemes to new entrants. And today Reform UK launched a review of whether new entrants for any defined benefit scheme should be permitted to such schemes. Reform UK have already announced £40bn of yearly savings. In the coming weeks, we’ll be saying more about the true cost of the Boriswave and unskilled migration we’ve had - and how Reform will stop it blowing a hole in the country’s finances. And we will commit to more savings in the coming months. It’s because we are the only the party with a plan to cut wasteful spending that we can credibly commit to keeping the triple lock. So, yes: we’ll balance the books. We just won’t do it on the backs of British people who’ve paid in their whole life. Instead, we’ll save tens of billions by resetting Government spending so it puts the British people – and only the British people – first.  Politics is about choices.  And we choose the British people. We will every time.

We promised action and we’re delivering! 💪 Pothole repairs across Warwickshire are up by nearly 50% under Reform.

Our medics were not missing… they were buried. Buried beneath a silence heavier than words, and beneath pain beyond endurance. The survivor, Asaad Al-Nassasra, speaks—his voice bearing witness to loss; to companions who left with him on a humanitarian mission, but he returned alone… leaving them under the soil without a farewell. And on March 30, 2025, the truth emerged as it is: bodies concealed, souls departed, and a wound that will never close. They were deliberately killed by Israeli occupation forces. This is not a story of survival… but a testimony to a tragedy that will remain.
