Farage's £25bn Cut Fantasy: Treachery or Budget Bingo?
KEY POINTS
- •Reform UK's Zia Yusuf announced plans to save £25 billion by cutting spending on foreigners in 2025.
- •Yusuf accused Labour of 'treachery' for continuing to fund foreign nationals despite economic concerns.
- •Rachel Reeves from Labour previously opposed scrapping the two-child benefit cap but now supports it amid worsening economics.
In a dazzling display of policy wizardry on a chilly November day in 2025, Reform UK's head of policy, Zia Yusuf, declared a jaw-dropping £25 billion savings plan by cutting spending on foreigners—a term that apparently trumps all others in debate flair. Labours Rachel Reeves already RSVP'd to the U-turn party, flipping on the two-child benefit cap she once said was unaffordable, proving economic chaos is the new normal. Yusuf exploded 'treachery' at Labour for funding foreign nationals 'extortionately,' conveniently ignoring the tales of tightened belts from British citizens presumably patiently waiting behind this fiscal magician's curtain.

When your budget plan cuts foreigners but not imaginary savings, you know politics is less about math and more about dramatic flair.
Zia Yusuf promises £25bn cuts but forgot to mention there’s no receipt for those savings—magician budget style.
Labour keeps foreign funding while calling it treachery—proof that hypocrisy loves a cozy party with free benefits.
