A Reform UK spokesman said the party would introduce 'dozens of bills' within days of taking office

Nigel Farage is set to pledge a Reform UK government would declare a “national emergency” within its first day in office, as he prepares to outline a programme of action at the party’s 2026 National Conference.

The Reform UK leader will tomorrow argue Britain has been left in a critical condition after years of Conservative and Labour governments, accusing the Tories in particular of "wasting their 14 years in office".

In his speech, Mr Farage will warn “time is running out to save Britain”, arguing the country cannot afford to wait another decade for change.

He is also expected to criticise Labour figures, including Andy Burnham, over calls for another 10 years in government.

Central to his address will be a promise to dramatically accelerate the passage of legislation if Reform UK wins a majority at the next general election.

He will detail how Parliament would be required to sit “day and night” until his Government’s policies had been approved.

That could include parliamentary sittings throughout the summer and seven days a week if necessary.

A Reform UK spokesman said the party would introduce “dozens of bills” within days of taking office, arguing the scale of the problems facing the country meant there was no time for delay.

“Britain is in serious trouble. We don’t have time to wait around to fix it,” the spokesman said.

Mr Farage is also expected to issue a warning to institutions that could oppose or delay progress.

He will say the House of Lords, judiciary and civil service would discover how determined a Reform UK government was if they attempted to obstruct its plans.

He is expected to promise to do “anything and everything” necessary to deliver his initiative during the first 100 days.

Immigration and household finances are set to be among the immediate priorities, with Reform UK pledging to make stopping small boats crossing the English Channel and reducing the cost of living key objectives.

Mr Farage is expected to take a "leading role" in efforts to tackle the UK's migrant crisis.

The party’s three-day conference in Birmingham, attended by more than 8,000 delegates, is designed to showcase what Reform UK would deliver during its opening months in government.

The party leader is expected to impose strict accountability measures on his ministers, saying those who fail to deliver their first-100-day commitments would be “sacked”.

Reform UK will argue the failure of successive governments to fulfil manifesto promises is evidence that British politics is broken.

Senior figures, including Richard Tice, Robert Jenrick, Zia Yusuf and Suella Braverman, are expected to publish individual pledges, setting out what they would aim to accomplish during the first 100 days of a Reform UK majority government.

Mr Farage is expected to make a 100-day commitment a condition of serving in his cabinet, saying ministers without such a pledge would have “no place” in his administration.

He will also reiterate his prediction Britain could face an early general election, declaring his belief Reform UK could win it, despite a slip in the polls over a controversial summer.

The party leader is expected to argue the two-party political system which has dominated Westminster for roughly a century is now breaking down.

He is also set to use the conference to highlight Reform UK’s recent electoral progress, pointing to its gains in local government and its growing presence in the devolved administrations.

Delegates will be told Reform UK is “much stronger than we were last year”, portraying the party as Britain’s largest political force, and highlighting its fundraising performance as evidence of growing support.

Party funds are the very thing that cast doubt in the minds of voters, with the parliamentary standards committee still conducting an ongoing investigation into Reform UK's party donations.
