Richard Tice’s Party used a seemingly rushed, last-minute press conference in Westminster to attack the Labour Party, and urged his party’s candidates not to tweet when drunk.

With Parliament in recess and most MPs in their constituencies, Reform UK used a quieter political agenda to announce two major policies - and firmly park their tanks on Labour’s lawn.The party’s leader Richard Tice outlined the first new commitment as he set out a bold, yet controversial, healthcare policy. The idea would see the net zero target, which the party “conservatively” estimate costs around £30 billion a year, scrapped and the money diverted towards the NHS.

With the party concurring it is a “scandal” and that Reform would implement the committees recommendations in full.The Ashfield MP was criticised online, however, after it emerged that he did not sign an ‘open letter’ from Labour MP Stephanie Peacock at the time which endorsed all of the recommendations. A tweet from Ms Peacock, who is a Barnsley MP, claims that she asked fellow coalfield MPs, including Mr Anderson, to back the calls - yet he did not sign it.
