Campaigners have warned that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage "wants to take more risks with people's financial security" after he gave a speech setting out new economic policies.
In his speech, he criticised what he called "the lunatic cost of net zero" and claimed that the opportunities presented by Brexit have been "squandered".
He claimed: "The opportunity to sensibly deregulate, the opportunity to become competitive globally, all of that has been squandered."
Tom Brufatto, policy director at Best for Britain, said:
“Nigel Farage tries to claim he’s got the answers to the problems this country faces - but he created one of the biggest economic issues by championing Brexit, and now he wants to take more risks with people’s financial security.
“The public are crystal clear - including a third of his own supporters - that leaving the EU has been a failure, and they cite the economic fallout and blame Farage for the pain. His poor judgement disqualifies him from being trusted with the economy - ever.”
