Director of the Good Growth Foundation responds to Nigel Farage’s speech on the economy

Director of the Good Growth Foundation, Praful Nargund, said: “Nigel Farage talks about backing the grafters, but his plan is a grifter’s charter - deregulation for the City, slashing public services and tax cuts for the wealthy. In the middle of a raging cost-of-living crisis, he thinks minimum wage should be reduced. But the public does not buy it. Our polling shows 56% of people don’t trust him to lead the country, including many Reform voters. Britain doesn’t need a race to the bottom, it needs a serious, progressive plan to grow the economy in a way people can feel.”
