Nigel Farage pledged that Reform would scrap air passenger duty on short-haul flights for family holidays at a press conference today. The Reform leader said the move would help families take a break amid the cost-of-living crisis and hailed it as a Brexit benefit.

Speaking at Heathrow alongside Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick, Mr Farage said: "It's not just that it will make people's holidays cheaper but it is also the fact that it is a Brexit benefit and not something we could do as members of the EU.

"I hope Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer are listening to that particular point."

Mr Jenrick said the move would save an average family £45 on their flights.
