Politics LIVE: Reform UK issues major update on government preparations

Reform UK's newest MP, Danny Kruger, is delivering a major update on the party's preparations for government today, six weeks after defecting from the Conservatives.

Mr Kruger was announced as the party's head of a new 'preparing for government' unit when he stunned Westminster with his defection, and is now planning to unveil some of his recent work.

As well as setting out the current problems of the British state facing any government, he is setting out a five-point plan to restore the power of the Prime Minister.

These could include taking back control from unelected quangos and civil servants, and limiting the involvement of the courts.

He is also setting out the sackings of thousands of civil servants, which would save millions to put towards other spending priorities.
