Farage to give up Reform’s manifesto pledge for £90bn in tax cuts

The party’s “Our Contract with You”, which featured the word “tax” on 58 occasions across the 26-page manifesto, said it would increase the income tax personal allowance to £20,000, while raising the threshold for paying the higher rate to £70,000.
