Reform UK’s Bold Welfare Shift | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Reform UK is pushing a radical welfare overhaul, proposing to slash £21 billion annually by banning most foreign nationals from accessing government benefits — including EU residents — while sparing only military veterans like Gurkhas. The plan, part of a broader £50 billion cut, claims British taxpayers shouldn’t fund non-citizens, sparking fierce backlash from Labour who warn it could devastate millions of long-term residents and workers. The move threatens to upend post-Brexit agreements and reignites fiery debates over immigration, national identity, and who deserves state support.
