Reform UK's rival budget event took place on a Monday afternoon, resulting in a noticeably sparse hall. Nigel Farage, the party's leader, blamed "staff incompetence" for the poor turnout. Robert Jenrick, who presented the plan, said Reform would cut £40bn of spending in year one and lift the tax-free allowance from £12,500 to £15,000.
