Reform to unveil controversial plan to fine firms and jail bosses who employ illegal workers – UK politics live

Reform say employers would be held responsible even if they were unaware of the worker’s immigration status

Kemi Badenoch described Reform UK as “woke” as she again ruled out a deal with Nigel Farage’s party.

The Conservative leader told the Political Currency podcast she would make no pact with Reform either before or after the next election.

Reform are a woke party, and I know a lot of people don’t understand, the word woke is used to mean many things, a lot of people assume it’s a left-wing thing.

But when I talk about woke, I talk about people who, it’s all grievance, it’s victim narratives, people are doing this to us, oppressor narratives, this is the oppressor class.

I don’t see how I could possibly have people like that in some form of coalition.
