Britain is lawless. Over the past 20 years, crime has become commonplace across Britain - something Labour and the Tories have accepted rather than challenged.
Labour's relentless focus on restricting free speech, raising taxes, and releasing hardened criminals early has come at the direct expense of policing and public safety.
We must hold the Conservatives equally accountable; they've been in power throughout this crisis.
They introduced the disastrous £200 shoplifting charter, effectively incentivising theft under that threshold and allowing criminals to face no real consequences. They eroded public trust and safety.
There's no question: Britain is lawless and it needs Reform.
That is why today I am laying out my party's plans for how we take back control of our streets from the criminals who currently plague them.
Over the last 20 years, witnessing and experiencing crime has become normalised, with Britons feeling helpless and an overworked police force struggling to keep up.
Government funding seems to be going to everything except keeping the people of this country safe on the streets and secure in their homes.
Moreover, the Government seems to be doing everything it can to increase the likelihood of crime by importing droves of unvetted men into our towns and cities.
Total crime is now 50 per cent higher than it was in the 1990s, and twice as high as in the 1980s.
The current figures today are four times greater than they were in the 1970s.
Something is fundamentally wrong with both our justice system and the approach towards criminal prosecutions.
Our prison system is broken and, in most cases, at full capacity.
Violent repeat offenders are being released early and in many cases people do not feel confident that reporting crimes to the police will lead to justice.
A recent study has revealed that 44 per cent of violent crimes go unreported and over 64 per cent of robberies and thefts.
One of the greatest measures of how a country is faring is the level of trust the public holds with government officials and their ability to keep us safe.
From successive Labour and Conservative governments, that trust has been completely lost.
By deporting 10,400 foreign prisoners, Reform will end the crisis of prison overcrowding.
There's no justification for taxpayers funding the lives of criminals who shouldn't be here in the first place.
Many break the law just by entering the UK, then commit further crimes once here - disrespecting our laws, culture, and civility. The only acceptable response is deportation.
Reform will commit to the building of five new 'Nightingale' style prisons across the UK.
Similar to what Denmark has done, we will negotiate a deal with countries such as Kosovo to ensure prison overcrowding is not a problem that occurs in Britain.
For too long, Labour and the Tories have sent the message that crime in Britain carries little to no consequence.
Reform will change that. We will ensure that the punishment actually fits the crime - not our current system where people are jailed for tweets while violent criminals walk free after serving a two-year sentence.
Reform will build a justice system that properly investigates and prosecutes all crimes.
Britain will no longer send the message that robbery, theft, and antisocial behaviour are acceptable. I will ensure any crime, big or small, will be investigated and perpetrators will face justice.
Under a Reform government, we will have full-tariff sentences. Life will mean life if I am your prime minister.
There will be no early release and no suspended sentences for serious violent offenders, sexual offenders and knife possession.
We will end the £200 shoplifters' charter - all shoplifters will face arrest. We will also introduce mandatory life imprisonment for drug trafficking.
Reform UK will be the toughest party on law and order this country has ever seen. We will cut crime in half. We will take back control of our streets; we will take back control of our courts and prisons.
If you're a criminal, I am putting you on notice. In 2029 you have a choice to make: be a law-abiding citizen or face serious justice.
