Farage is about to set out his “economic vision” in a speech, which Labour says would bring back austerity..
He’s a huge fan of Thatcher who implemented spending curbs and a focus on reducing Govt’s role in the economy, which has been described as an early form of austerity

Trump hasn’t cut drug prices by even 1%, let alone “1500%”. He told drug companies on Truth Social to cut their prices. They didn’t. End of story. This was also his plan to end the war in Ukraine - by posting “Vladimir Stop!” on Truth Social. It’s also how he handles trade.
