Reform UK leader accuses Tories of ‘stealing’ social housing policy

Richard Tice says Conservatives trying to copy party’s plan to put foreign nationals at ‘back of queue’ for social homes

The leader of Reform UK has accused the Conservatives of trying to mimic his policies by planning a controversial “British homes for British workers” scheme, as the rightwing populist party edges higher in the polls.

Both parties will go into the next election with the same promise to give British people priority access to social homes, it has emerged.
