The Tories vow to bar foreign nationals from benefiting from the government's social housing program, which Reform UK claims is just a copy of its policy. In banning foreigners from council houses, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said it will ensure that Britain stops being a 'cash machine for the world.'
