Nigel Farage has said that Reform UK will be “the toughest party on law and order this country has ever seen” as he pledged to end the early release of serious criminals. With Labour struggling to get a grip on rising crime rates and Reform soaring in the polls, Daniel Martin, Deputy Political Editor, reports on the significance of Mr Farage’s timely announcement.
I’d love to hear what you think of this newsletter. You can email me your feedback here.

Enjoy 1 year for £25 in our Summer Sale | | Nigel Farage speaking to the media as he arrived at the BBC yesterday | | Daniel Martin Deputy Political Editor | Nigel Farage is out and about again today, laying out his party’s plans for law and order if it wins the next general election.
Top of the list is a pledge that no sex offender will be released early if Mr Farage becomes prime minister.
Other plans include sending foreign offenders back to their country of origin to free up thousands of prison places, and appointing 30,000 more police officers within five years.
The Reform leader will also crack down on “two-tier justice” which critics say has led to the harsh treatment of social media users for “hate crimes” while pro-Palestinian activists get away scot-free.
“Reform UK will be the toughest party on law and order this country has ever seen,” Mr Farage said last night.
“We will cut crime in half. We will take back control of our streets, we will take back control of our courts and prisons.”
The announcement comes as Mr Farage’s party continues to ride high in the polls, with one survey over the weekend giving Reform UK a six-point lead over Labour, enough for a slim majority in Parliament.
It shows that the Reform leader sees law and order as a key battleground to attract working-class voters away from Labour at the next election.
Being “tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime” was one of the reasons Tony Blair swept to victory on three occasions.
But now, under Sir Keir Starmer, Labour is seen by many as weak on crime.
Similarly, the Conservatives have remained in the doldrums since their evisceration in the 2024 general election.
Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, received plaudits for a social media video in which he criticised the police for failing to tackle fare evaders on London’s tube network.
But many voters do not think he has done enough to explain the Tories’ failure to overhaul the justice system during their 14 years in power.
And so Mr Farage believes that there are millions of votes to be had for a party which promises to really tackle Britain’s law and order problems.

The result was an illuminating interview with Britain’s future king.
William is a man on a mission, Hannah writes, intent on “turning the tanker”, as he puts it. Off duty but relaxed, he joked with his team and chatted to anyone he passed. With major illness in the family weighing on his shoulders, the Duchy offered the perfect setting to clear his head.

Today, Annabel Denham responds to a subscriber comment on her column: Votes at 16 are the least of Britain’s democratic woes. | Jeff Sears The aftermath of the Brexit referendum clearly demonstrated that democracy does not exist in the UK. Many of the people in my community do not vote because they have found that it makes no difference. | | | Annabel Denham I suspect many more will not vote after the next 12 months of Labour. Unemployment is rising, inflation is sticky, growth forecasts have been downgraded. Vacancies are down, along with business and consumer confidence. The public sector is getting money, not reform. Taxes are being hiked to fund the growing number of economically inactive.
