Labour says Reform UK trying to divide communities' ahead of Farage speech on crime - UK politics live
Briefly

Nigel Farage plans to end early release schemes for sex offenders and serious violent offenders if he becomes prime minister. He will announce these proposals during a speech in London. Farage intends to create 30,000 new prison places, hire 30,000 additional police officers, and deport 10,400 foreign offenders from British jails. His proposals may encounter funding and legal challenges, particularly regarding the transfer of criminals to overseas jails. His tough on crime message contrasts with alternative approaches suggested by legal experts to reduce court backlogs.
Farage’s proposals include ending early release for sex offenders and violent offenders, building 30,000 new prison places, and appointing 30,000 more police officers within five years.
The Reform UK leader also aims to deport 10,400 foreign offenders and proposes sending serious criminals to overseas jails, facing potential legal challenges.
