Nigel Farage threatens to overhaul Lords and judiciary in Reform conference speech | UK News

In his speech, Farage said the country needed a government “that actually delivers on its promises” and “we’re the only people capable of doing it”.

He argued the Tories “had 14 years in power and failed absolutely miserably”, while Labour’s new Prime Minister Andy Burnham “says he needs 10 years”, a reference to the PM’s promise to set out a 10-year plan for the country later this year.

If Reform wins the next general election, Farage pledged to sack ministers who fail to deliver on their promises in their first 100 days in the job “and replace them with somebody else with the courage to do it”.

Setting out his plans to call a “national emergency” if Reform wins power, Farage said: “Parliament will sit, if necessary, for 24 hours a day, for six days a week until we pass the necessary legislation.”

He said he expected the House of Lords to “honour” Reform’s policy pledges but if they refused to do so threatened to appoint hundreds of new peers so the party had a majority in the upper chamber.

“And if that proves difficult, we will hold a referendum on the current composition of the House of Lords, and they would be swept away by a British public appalled by them,” he added.

Identifying the judiciary as another possible “obstacle”, Farage promised to remove the ability of judges to rely on conventions like the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), which critics blame for hindering some deportations.

“We don’t want the courts striking down, do we, the will of the people,” he said.

“Parliament makes the law, judges interpret the law. We will do whatever it takes, and perhaps have to consider how judicial appointments work in the future.”

Meanwhile, he said civil servants who “try to obstruct us” would be removed from their posts and replaced by people from the world of business.

“I’m tired of being told what can’t be done,” the Reform leader added.

“That is not what the public want. The public want action, the public want genuine change, the public do not want any more of the same. And our attitude is can do, and will do.”

Farage took to the stage after a long delay, which he told delegates was due to a “security alert”.

His speech was also interrupted several times by protesters, including two women who held up a banner reading “Reform works for billionaires”.

They were booed by audience members who shouted “out”, as they were removed by security.

Farage laughed off the disruption, chanting “boring, boring, boring”.
