Reform UK pledges £80bn cuts to public spending

At the Reform Party’s annual conference, economy spokesman Robert Jenrick declared that the party will position itself as the “party of fiscal responsibility.” Speaking to delegates and media representatives, Jenrick emphasized the group’s commitment to balanced budgets, reduced public borrowing and disciplined government spending as central pillars of its economic platform.

Jenrick outlined specific measures the party intends to pursue, including tightening fiscal rules, conducting regular reviews of departmental expenditures and prioritising investments that deliver measurable returns. He noted that these policies are designed to restore confidence among taxpayers and investors ahead of the upcoming general election, signalling the party’s aim to differentiate itself from rivals on the issue of public finance.
