Nigel Farage has promised that council tax increases under a Reform UK administration would be lower than those proposed by other political parties, as he campaigned in Leeds ahead of the local elections.
Speaking in the West Yorkshire city, the Reform UK leader sought to distinguish his party's fiscal approach from rivals, emphasizing relief for households grappling with rising living costs. The pledge comes as local authorities across England face pressure to raise council tax to fund services.
Farage did not specify exact figures but insisted Reform's plans would be "fairer" for taxpayers. The visit is part of a broader push by the party to gain traction in northern England ahead of the polls.
