Reform UK has defended its use of disputed figures to claim billions of pounds would be saved by its immigration and welfare plans, as it announced it would abolish migrant rights to qualify for indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
Party leader Nigel Farage said savings would be “considerably larger” than the £230 billion suggested by the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS), despite the think tank having since said the figure should no longer be used.
