Nigel Farage has hit back at former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, who accused the Reform UK Party of being “all over the place” on fiscal policy in a heated GB News row.

Nigel defended his party’s proposals, insisting they are delivering tough but necessary reforms.

He told GB News: “No, no, no, no. We just announced the biggest welfare cuts in history.

“We will not allow the indefinite leave to remainers. So those that came in under the Boriswave when you were there, we will not allow them.”

Mr Kwarteng hit back: “I’m afraid, on the two child cap, you’ve been out-bidding Labour on the left. I think that’s fiscally irresponsible.”

Nigel fumed: “Working British people should be encouraged to have more children was my point.”

Mr Kwarteng also noted that Labour is planning higher spending and tax rises, saying all parties must present credible policies.

He said: “I think, frankly, that Labour are not credible on fiscal responsibility, fine. And I don’t think, even though you’ve never been in Government, that is when you’re saying ‘we’re going to lift the child cap on benefits’, that is not the right thing to do.

“You can defend the past, but they’ve got to look to the future. The issue that I have with Labour is that they couldn’t even reduce £5billion out of the welfare reform.

“And all the Labour ministers, they were on the Today programme, they were on shows like this saying ‘this is what we’ve got to do’. They’ve got a majority of 170 and they couldn’t do it.”

The row comes after Kemi Badenoch confirmed that stamp duty would be abolished if the Conservative Party wins the next General Election.

The party leader said the property tax would be scrapped as part of a full overhaul of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Speaking to Tory members at the conference, Mrs Badenoch described ending stamp duty as “key to a fairer society,” saying it would make housing more affordable and ease the burden on homeowners.

When buying a home, like a house or flat, Britons normally pay stamp duty land tax on rising portions of the property price.

She told conference attendees: “At he heart of a Conservative Britain is a country where people who wish to own their first home.

“But our housing market is not working as it should.”

“The next Conservative government will abolish stamp duty.

“We must free up our housing market because a society where no one can afford to buy or move is a society where social mobility is ad.”
