Ukip’s plan to save £25bn: Leave the EU and slash foreign aid spending

Ukip shrugged off condemnation of its “British jobs for British workers” policy as it set out an economic platform underpinned by £25bn of savings from spending on the European Union, overseas aid, Scotland and the HS2 rail link. Nigel Farage’s party said the money would pay for cuts to taxes, a boost for the NHS and a sharp increase in defence spending.
