Reform UK Sets Out Plan to Prioritise British Nationals in Social Housing Allocations

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage published an essay on his Substack on Sunday outlining a proposal under which foreign nationals would be removed from social housing if the party forms a government. The essay states that tenants would be given a three-month period to move into private rented accommodation.

Farage wrote that rules giving priority to local people and ties to the area were removed during the last century. He stated that Britain has become a "two tier state against white people" and that the British state is no longer working for everyone in this country.

Farage referenced the murder of student Henry Nowak, who was handcuffed by police as he lay dying after his killer claimed to have been the victim of a racist attack.

Farage said he would repeal the Equality Act under a Reform government. He wrote that housing, healthcare, education, policing, the military and the workplace are all adversely affected by what he describes as "deeply anti-white racism". Farage said he launched the Substack to set out his views in his own words and avoid them being twisted and misrepresented.

He promised to publish a long essay each month.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said on Sky News that Mr Farage "should take his nasty hate and anger and division somewhere else frankly". She added that people want hope and do not want more anger, division or hate. Nandy stated that living standards have not improved for too long. She said she hopes Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham wins next week's Makerfield by-election.

Reform MP Suella Braverman said she was very proud to read Mr Farage's piece. She stated she believes that white people are treated more unfairly than non-white people. Braverman said on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips on Sky News that the murder of Henry Nowak has to be a wake-up call that white people were told by the police to be treated differently to non-white people.
