"We will spend your money where it's needed most. This is a defining election - not just for Wales - not just for us - but the prime minister. If the Labour result is anything like the current opinion polls, Wales will end the premiership of Sir Keir Starmer. If we get this right we will get rid of the worst prime minister any of us have seen in our lifetimes."
"Reform's Welsh leader Dan Thomas told the launch event in Newport that the manifesto was a 'blueprint for real change', claiming Reform was the new 'people's army'. The party has promised to cut 1p off every pound on all bands of Welsh income tax. Reform said the cut would 'jumpstart the Welsh economy' and would be funded by 'reductions in expenditure elsewhere'."
"Reform would not send money abroad to fund foreign aid and would shut Welsh government offices in China. It promised to build an M4 relief road, which Nigel Farage told BBC Wales could be paid through tolls. Think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies said the manifesto was 'striking' in similarity to Tory plans launched this week."
Reform UK unveiled its manifesto for the Welsh Senedd election on May 7, led by Nigel Farage. The party pledges to construct an M4 relief road funded through tolls, cut one penny from every pound of Welsh income tax across all bands, and eliminate foreign aid spending. Reform would also close Welsh government offices in China and redirect funds to the health service. Farage characterized the election as a defining moment for Wales and a referendum on Prime Minister Starmer's premiership, suggesting a strong Labour performance would end Starmer's time as PM. The Institute for Fiscal Studies noted striking similarities between Reform's manifesto and Conservative proposals. Polling indicates Reform is competing with Plaid Cymru for first place in the election.
