Reform reveal plan to send criminals to El Salvador - watch Nigel Farage live
Nigel Farage will pledge to halve crime in Britain if Reform UK enters government.
The Reform leader will give a speech in central London this morning to unveil his plans to tackle crime and overhaul the justice system.
He is expected to announce a raft of policies that include a new prison building programme to deliver 30,000 new places and 30,000 police officers.
Mr Farage has also said that no violent criminal or sex offender will be released early if he becomes prime minister.
Foreign offenders will be sent back to their country of origin, and some of the most serious offenders could be forced to serve jailtime overseas, including El Salvador.
He will also vow to bring in regulations to stop 'two-tier justice', where criminals get different jail sentences depending on their backgrounds.
It comes as a survey by J L Partners found that Reform has a six-point lead over Labour and is 12 percentage points ahead of the Tories in current opinion polling.
If the results were replicated at the 2029 general election, Mr Farage would get a slim majority in Parliament.
