Nigel Farage threatens to overhaul Lords and judiciary in Reform conference speech

Nigel Farage used Reform UK’s annual conference speech to lay out sweeping priorities for a potential government, saying it would deliver where others have failed. He cited pledges including stopping small boat crossings, cutting energy bills by £250 a year and ending what he called net zero “lunacy” in the first 100 days. Farage said he would declare a “national emergency” to remove “obstacles,” warning he could overhaul the House of Lords and how judges are appointed if they block Reform plans. The speech faced interruptions from protesters and was overshadowed by an investigation into donation allegations following a Channel 4 News report. Farage insisted the party received no illegal money.
