Nigel Farage used his annual conference speech on Friday to set out Reform UK's priorities, including stopping small boat crossings and cutting energy bills. He said a Reform government would declare a "national emergency" and remove "obstacles" like the House of Lords and judicial appointments if they hindered his plans. Farage also addressed allegations about donations, which he denied, calling them "loose pub talk."
